Rails namespaced routes work in development but not production - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm trying to nest some routes under the namespace, account.
I want user management under account like /account/users and /account/users/5/edit
In routes.rb:
namespace :account do
resources :users do
member do
put 'generate_api_key'
end
collection do
post 'api_key'
end
end
end
My controllers are not namespaced or put them in any different directory.
/app
/controllers
accounts_controller.rb
users_controller.rb
In my development environment this is working fine, but in production I get 404 responses to any of the /account/users... paths (which, by the way, are all still generated correctly: new_account_users_path, edit_account_user_path, etc).
rake routes generates the same output in both environments. Here is the relevant bit:
generate_api_key_account_user PUT /account/users/:id/generate_api_key(.:format) {:action=>"generate_api_key", :controller=>"account/users"}
api_key_account_users POST /account/users/api_key(.:format) {:action=>"api_key", :controller=>"account/users"}
account_users GET /account/users(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"account/users"}
POST /account/users(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"account/users"}
new_account_user GET /account/users/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"account/users"}
edit_account_user GET /account/users/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"account/users"}
account_user GET /account/users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"account/users"}
PUT /account/users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"account/users"}
DELETE /account/users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"account/users"}
Given that the routes seem to look for the Users controller in the /account subdirectory, I suppose my question is why does this work in development?
Production is:
Rails 3.0.7
Passenger
Apache
Development is:
Rails 3.0.7
Mongrel
Thanks for your thoughts on this one.

If you're namespacing like this, Rails requires the controllers to be at their correct paths, such as app/controllers/account/users_controller.rb. If you don't want to do this, then use scope instead:
scope :path => "account" do
resources :users
end
