Yeah, this works fine when I use RAILS_ROOT instead of RAILS_DIR.

Backticks don't seem to work here. I get a syntax error when I try it:
** Invoke db:create (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
syntax error on line 22, col 9: ` # port: 5432'
/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.1/lib/initializer.rb:716:in
** `database_configuration'
Where line 22 is the first line after the backtick that does _not_ start
with a comment.
