Rails - Sep 2008 - Problem using GeoKit plugin from rake task

I''m still learning rails and I''ve run into a problem that has
me
baffled and google hasn''t been able to help.

I''m using the GeoKit plugin to handle the geocoding of one of my
models.  The model has a method called do_geocode(addr) that takes an
address string (addr), does the geocoding and assigns the appropriate
attributes based on the response.  I''ve tested this quite a bit using
my web interface and have had no problems.  Now, though, I''m trying to
do geocoding from a rake task, and this method always mysteriously
fails.  The rake task reads in an address string from a file and calls
go_geocode on the model object.

Are rake tasks not able to utilize the full functionally of models
that have plugin functionality mixed in?  The rake task code is
included below:

require ''csv''

namespace :util do
  desc ''Import CSV file of stuff''
  task(:import => :environment) do
    CSV::Reader.parse(File.open(''./lib/tasks/test.csv'',
''r'')) do |row|
      store = Store.new do |c|
        c.name = row[0]
        c.phone = row[1]
        addr = row[2]
        c.do_geocode(addr)
      end

      if store.valid? # It is never valid because do_geocode always
fails
        puts ''Store is valid''
      else
        store.errors.each_full{ |msg| puts msg }
      end

    end
  end
end
