Cant get fixtures to load

Hi,

I cant get yaml fixtures to load. The brief error is

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - some.

I have NO idea what this 'some' is.

The yaml file is simplicity itself.

hq:   id: 1   role_name: HeadQuarters

I have tried this with a) One space after the colon following id and role_name b) Indented perfectly according to JEdit.

Both give the same error. Any thoughts?

Make sure JEdit isn't including tabs BEFORE id: and role_name:

I am quite sure there are no tabs before the id and the role_name. I transferred it into Editplus and checked too. No question about that...
