Compass, config.rb and getting the output actually :compressed

Question

This is my config.rb

preferred_syntax = :sass
http_path = '/'
css_dir = 'css'
sass_dir = 'sass'
images_dir = 'assets/images'
javascripts_dir = 'js'
relative_assets = true
line_comments = false
output_style = :compressed

The thing is that the code won't be compressed, sample of few blocks:

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-state-highlight a, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-highlight a, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-highlight a {
  color: #363636;
}

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-state-error, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-error, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-error {
  border: 1px solid #cd0a0a;
  background: #fef1ec url(images/ui-bg_glass_95_fef1ec_1x400.png) 50% 50% repeat-x;
  color: #cd0a0a;
}

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-state-error a, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-error a, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-error a {
  color: #cd0a0a;
}

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-state-error-text, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-error-text, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-error-text {
  color: #cd0a0a;
}

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-priority-primary, .ui-widget-content .ui-priority-primary, .ui-widget-header .ui-priority-primary {
  font-weight: bold;
}

/* line 37, ../sass/style.scss */
.ui-priority-secondary, .ui-widget-content .ui-priority-secondary, .ui-widget-header .ui-priority-secondary {
  opacity: .7;
  filter: Alpha(Opacity=70);
  font-weight: normal;
}

Any idea what am I missing here?

The config.rb is only read when the compass command is run. If you're using compass watch, you will need to stop and start it before the changes will take effect. You may also need to force it to recompile by making a minor change to one of your Sass files.
