DRbServerNotFound on TupleSpace#take but not read

ruby-talk

I'm getting a DRbServerNotFound exception on TupleSpace#take but not
TupleSpace#read. I'm running ruby 1.8.5 on fedora core 6.

Here's a little snippet:

@http_server.mount_proc('/delete') do |req, res|
  id = req.path_info.reverse.chop.reverse
  @seldom_space.read(['pending', nil, id, nil], 2)
  @seldom_space.take(['pending', nil, id, nil], 2)
  res.body = get_status
end

Basically @seldom_space is a TupleSpaceProxy that I'm accessing from within
a Webrick proc servlet. The read will work as expected and return a
'pending' tuple with the specified id. The take is throwing the following
exception:

Anyone have an idea what's going on? I've been stepping through DRb with
ruby-debug for hours and I'm not able to wrap my mind around what's
happening (though I have learned a lot about more about DRb).
