rspec users - Feb 2009 - Rcov rake task problems

OS = MS-WinXPproSP3 / CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-cygwin]
rails (2.2.2)
rake (0.8.3)
rcov (0.8.1.1.0)

I am trying to develop a rake task that will aggregate the results for
testunit, spec and cucumber tests.  However, I find that I continually
run into this error:

All the rcov tasks, including those provided cucumber and rspec, are
broken in the same fashion.  I tried dropping back to an earlier version
of rcov (0.8.1.1.0) from 0.8.1.2.0 but I obtain the same error.  Has
anyone any idea what might be wrong?  The rake task used in this example
is:

require ''rcov/rcovtask''
namespace :rcov do
  desc "Generate code coverage with rcov"
  task :coverage do
    rm_f "doc/coverage/coverage.data"
    rm_f "doc/coverage"
    mkdir "doc/coverage"
    rcov = %(rcov --rails --aggregate doc/coverage/coverage.data
--text-summary -Ilib --html -o doc/coverage test/**/*_test.rb)
    system rcov
    system "open doc/coverage/index.html" if
PLATFORM[''darwin'']
  end
end

desc "Rcov code coverage reports"
task :rcov => "rcov:all"
require ''rcov/rcovtask''

namespace :rcov do

  Rcov::RcovTask.new(:all) do
    task :rcov => "rcov:testunit"
  end

  Rcov::RcovTask.new(:testunit) do |t|
    t.libs << "test"
    t.output_dir = ''coverage''
    t.test_files = FileList[''test/**/test*.rb'']
    t.verbose = true
  end

end

However, this rake task works. So, the problem is in my rake task coding 
and not with rcov itself.
