The second page of this tutorial didn't work when I checked it last, and there were complaints in the thread stretching back months.

A:
I realise you're writing a Rails app, but here's a link to a very good, recently produced screencast from Remi showing you how to use Sinatra with the Frankie plugin to make an FB app - http://remi.org/2009/12/31/getting-started-with-facebook-development.html -
Yes I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it does take you through some of the leg-work on the Facebook side of things, which helps regardless of the programming platform. You could easily port most of it to Rails without having to think too hard about it.
