Problems with attachment_fu in Production

Greetings! This one has me stumped so any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Like many of you, I am using the attachment_fu plugin to handle uploading files to the server via my application. I have it configured to save the files to the filesystem. In my Dev sandbox and on my staging server this works as expected. If the directories where the files are to be stored don't exist, attachment_fu creates them without issue. If they do exist the files are saved inside just as they should.

However, when deployed to Production the behavior is different. If the directories don't exist they are created as expected and all is good. However, if the dirs already exist I receive the following error message:

I should also mention that I have verified that all gems exist and are at the same version on both the staging and production servers.

Thanks again for any guidance with this one. -bdeverea

Ok, this was a stupid issue. I didn't have my deploy script setup to create the real directories. I was creating sym links to directories that didn't exist.

Stupid mistake on my part.
