Problem solved.
Deprec is not related to the application. Its function is to prepare the server to accept the application. Removing deprec from my gemfile solved this problem.
I can't answer my own question within 8 hours, so I'm putting it here.
I have recently setup capistrano and deprec for my Rails 3 app, but now Rake no longer works.
I guess the problem is coming from deprec, but I'm not sure why deprec is involved with a Rake task.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jon
