Thanks for the patch. There is a number of pending issues that relate 
to this and they will be addressed globally:

a) Working directory at run time should be the directory where you are 
when you invoke FR. Not the case today (this will be fixed soon)

b) the Script Runner and the Debugger should have a dialog box where 
you can specify the working directory, the include paths, the ruby 
interpreter,etc... A quick fix is to assume the directory of the 
script to be the current directory. This will be changed soon
