Thanks Michael,

Here's a little more information:

The problem did not occur until I tried to deploy the application on
hostingrails.com
I first encountered the problem when trying run the install. The rake
failed at the 'create_admin' migration step.
I got around this by adding some short description text for the admin
account and the migration went through fine.

I'm assuming the problem has something to do with creating a new
'person' with a blank text field.
My production database has 'null' as the default for the description
column.
