some monkey fixes to get the redmine api to work

after this i now know that i only need to refactor this so it works
in a sane way without using ActiveResource.php. I plan on using
simple file_get_contents calls and some stream wrapper to get out
of the ActiveResource.php hell I am currently in.

Personally i believe that all my problems stem from ActiveResource.php
and the Redmine API not interfacing well with each other. After trying
to hunt this down for quitre i bit I am resigning so i may code in greener
pastures soonish.
