In order to make your example work one needs to include the rails javascript libraries in the "start_background_task.rhtml" view:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

Development has been swift... and some of the code in the article is now out-of-date.
Should nowadays just be:
progress_percent = MiddleMan.get_worker(session[:job_key]).progress
Should nowadays just be:
progress_percent = MiddleMan.worker(session[:job_key]).progress

Folks,
Above Article on BackgrounDRb is completely obsolete. Please do not use instructions provided here as a tutorial for using BackgrounDRb. It has caused enough pain and agony for many users. New documentation for bdrb is available at, backgroundrb.rubyforge.org and one should look there before referring anything else.
