note, I ran into this wanting to run through my specs on my  
production server, which doesnt have a development environment but  
does have a production one. So instead I run (via a cap  deploy:spec  
task i wrote)

     rake spec RAILS_ENV=production

that way the db:test:prepare uses the production db rather than the  
development one
