I am getting the same kind of error (only running under
apache2+mod_fcgid on debian sarge)

I also get this:

[Wed Apr 25 15:45:50 2007] [notice] mod_fcgid: server
/var/www/radiant-test/public/dispatch.fcgi(30212) started
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.0/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb:33:in
`expand_path': couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~'
(ArgumentError)

permissions look fine.

unsure if thats a helpful addition, but thought i'd flag it anyway.

cheers,
