It must be pulling the old rake libs.  In all my tests the gem has won
the $LOAD_PATH order.  It is easy to check,

  task :default do
    puts $LOAD_PATH
  end

% rake
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.7-p72/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/bin
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.7-p72/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib
[...]

% drake
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.7-p72/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
drake-0.8.1.11.0.1/bin
/usr/local/stow/ruby-1.8.7-p72/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
drake-0.8.1.11.0.1/lib
[...]

What does yours say?  Maybe your RUBYLIB environment var is pointing
at a lib directory containing the old rake.rb?
