hey, i think you will find the answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1574896/zentest-autotest-not-running-tests

lots of people had this issue a while back and resolved it by downgrading ZenTest - I dunno if that will help you... which version are you on anyway?

There's a pretty cool tutorial here which shows you how to get autotest running with rspec and growl (or GnomeNotify): http://www.railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#sec:installing_autotest in case you're interested
