The default installation of compass in a rails app that is deployed to Heroku can cause some issues due to the nature of Heroku's read only file system.

A quick fix to this problem (assuming you develop locally and just deploy to production) you can add the following lines of code to config/compass.rb

environment = Compass::AppIntegration::Rails.env

if environment == :production
   Sass::Plugin.options[:never_update] = true
end
