When I created Nestor, I had the same kind of problem. The solution was to re-establish the connection in the forked process. See the relevant code at http://github.com/francois/nestor/blob/master/lib/nestor/mappers/rails/test/unit.rb#L162

From my very limited look at Resque code, I believe a call to #establish_connection should be done right about here: https://github.com/resque/resque/blob/master/lib/resque/worker.rb#L123
