Error with wp and sass/compass

Question

So, I'm trying to set up my wp theme for use with sass.

I've renamed style.css to style.scss and put it in a folder called 'sass'. Then I made a file called config.rb. In it I wrote

/* config.rb in the theme's root. */ 
css_dir = "/"
sass_dir = "sass"
output_style = :compressed

I then try to use compas.app to watch the folder (that is on a FTP server, mounted in Finder). I choose the root folder of the theme and press ok. After two seconds I get an error:

Answer 1

You'll have to debug it.

First, download your theme to a local drive and run compass compile on it.

Then run Compass.App on it.

Then run compass watch on the remote folder.

On which step does the problem occur?
