[Rails] Trouble with migrate over Switchtower

[Jamis Buck]

Where is rake located on your target machine? Note that .bashrc  
and .bash_login are _not_ read by the SSH process, and there have  
been reports of ~/.ssh/environment not working, either, for some people.

However, you can set the :rake variable in your deploy.rb to specify  
the full path to the rake executable on the remote host(s):

   set :rake, "/opt/local/bin/rake"
