I can't get autotest working with Rails 3.0.4 and MongoID 2.0.0.rc.7

Question

I'm not able to get autotest started. It just hangs after it clears the console screen:

$ autotest
loading autotest/rails_rspec2


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there is nothing in test.log. Other searches for this problem on S.O. don't provide an answer.

• autotest 4.4.6
• ZenTest 4.4.2
• Rails 3.0.4
• MongoID 2.0.0.rc.7

Maybe there is another place I could be looking for autotest errors?
