MongoDB: not authorized for query on .users

Question

I am using version 2.4.4, followed the procedures at http://docs.webfaction.com/software/mongodb.html and am using Mongoid with Ruby on Rails. I also have created a user at the db I am using with the "userAdminAnyDatabase" permission and am using it with this rails mongoid config:

production:
  sessions:
    default:
      database: <table>
      hosts:
        - localhost:<port>
      username: <user>
      password: <password>

but I am still getting: "failed with error 16550: "not authorized for query on

"

Is there something I am missing? Perhaps a special user I need to create?

Can you execute queries directly logged in as that user?

yes. and I am perfectly positive it's the same user I use in my rails app config

Trying to log the failing query would be the next step. I have never done this with mongo and rails, there is a module which is available here which seems suited for the task.
