Here is a paste from my program where I successfully set up and use a timer. Looks like I used a slightly different method from the same API. Hope it helps:

class LevelView < NSView
  attr_accessor :keyboard_view

  def initWithFrame frame
    $game = Game.new(self) 

    super(frame)
    @timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval 1.0/FPS, 
      target:self,
      selector:'doTick:',
      userInfo:nil,
      repeats:true
    NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop.addTimer @timer, forMode:NSModalPanelRunLoopMode
    NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop.addTimer @timer, forMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode
