Rails - Nov 2009 - wrong argument type Mysql (expected Struct) running rake with Ruby 1.9 / Rails 2.3.3

I''m use Ruby 1.9 via rvm and Rails 2.3.3.  I''m on OS X 10.5
and I have
the mysql 2.8.1 gem installed.  When I run rake on my rails app, I get
the error "wrong argument type Mysql (expected Struct)".  I can run
the app fine with script/server and script/console fine.  Is anyone
else having this problem or know what might cause this problem?
Here''s the stack trace:
