Couldn't this same thing be accomplished with a shell script calling  
the find command?  In that instance, ruby/etc isn't required.

As an example (this could be cleaned up with a proper regex, I think):

find . -name ".DS_Store" \
-or -name ".Spotlight-V100" \
-or -name ".fseventsd" \
-or -name ".Trashes" \
-or -name "__MACOSX" \
-maxdepth 1 \
-delete

Again, just an example.
