Starting Mongrels = no such file to load -- initializer (load error)

I’ve searched high and low and cannot find a solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

My problem is when starting my mongrels with this command:
mongrel_rails start -d -p 3000 -P log/mongrel1.pid

I get this error in my mongrel_rails_persist.log:

** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000

from /usr/bin/mongrel_rails_server:256

I should mention that if I do a script/server from my project
directory the mongrel starts up fine… what gives?

Thanks
