Need a little more information:

What command are you using to run the scenarios?

Where is filter defined and captured?

I followed the post at
http://www.tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app.
everything understood and good. I got a working story with “ruby
stories/login_story.rb”

I wanted a rake task that will run a ruby script to pickup all “.story”
files, pickup all “_steps.rb” and run them. this should work recursively
inside /spec/stories/[more subfolders]. steps can be placed anywhere,
not just /spec/stories/steps

somehow, this has worked as soon as I saw your message :o) talk of
special powers with David!
I will post my experiences when I get this finished.

Why cannot we have .story and .steps files and place them anywhere in a
folder hierarchy to suit business requirement?

(I mean something like)

  • stories
    ++ get_a_pizza_ordered
    +++ order_payment_recieve.story
    +++ pizza.steps

I will give it an attempt and post my experiences. :o)
If needed, I know David is here to help.

You may want to check out cucumber.

This seems to be where active development on this front is being done.
