Thanks for the reply Walter, but I ended up testing another route by
going to the session_store.rb and placing in:

MyApplication::Application.config.session_store :active_record_store,
:key => '_my_key', :expire_after => 2.hours

which allowed me to use the database instead. I then ran:

bundle exec rake db:sessions:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate

And, after logging into IE and into Firefox, the sessions hold after the
browser is closed. I looked at the cookies with Firecookie and saw the
following:

_my_key Expires: Timestamp with 2 hours later

So, the expire_after works fine with Rails 3.0.10 which is what I'm
using now. I just have to create a sweep routine to clean up the
database when necessary;

(per ruby on rails guides - section 2.9 session expiry)
