Just an update here..

I found a problem. It was related to my login setup on the remote
server. Whenever I issued a remote command, the first line in returned
from the server was always: "stty: standard input: Invalid argument" -
This was caused by some weirdness in my .tcshsrc file. I fixed that...

Before I fixed it though, :previous_release would add "standard" to
the end of the path like:
/usr/local/projects/abonline-rake/releases/standard

Because the last line will have what you want, how about:

set(:releases) { task.run("ls -x
#{releases_path}").split("\n").last.split.sort }
