I had a similar problem with getting my module to run on Heroku. In addition to the autoload naming convention stated by Stephen C, I found out that the module code must be require'd due to a threadsafe assumption made by the Rails' production environment on Heroku (even though threadsafe was commented out in my production.rb configuration file.) As soon as I require'd the module file before calling include on the module, everything started to work.

require 'mymodule'
include Mymodule

Please take a look at this excellent article on the subject of getting Modules to load correctly in Heroku (production).
