Okay I've finally managed to fix the problem I was having.

I found the following thread regarding rubyscript2exe & image loading...

http://objectmix.com/ruby/303278-re-rubyscript2exe-cannot-put-picture-project.html

If I rename the controls.rb file to init.rb & then "compile" the entire 
controls Directory like...

C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop>rubyscript2exe controls/

it works fine.
