The problem is that when you did "gem update --system" it installed
the new version of gem as /usr/bin/gem1.8 instead of /usr/bin/gem. I
had the same problem on the live machines.

Either use "gem1.8 install rails -v 2.0.1" or copy/rename/link gem1.8
to gem.

BTW I had to stick with 2.0.1 as 2.0.2 requires rmagick 2.0.0 which
in turn requires ImageMagick 6.3.0 which Debian doesn't have (even
in the unstable tree).
