This problem has a simple solution -- keep 'config.use_dynamic_shortcuts' commented out in the initializer, but I thought I would at least pass on the info.

When one turns on dynamic finders, it defines a 'respond_to?' method which conflicts with a method of the same named used within other gems like 'socialization'. The result is that the 'rolify' version of respond_to? gets called and causes the other code to fail.

Sorry, but I'm not precisely sure what the best way to fix this myself otherwise, I'd submit some code, but I wanted to let you know.
