Subject: how to invoke a rake file

How is this rakefile invoked?

C:\code>
C:\code>rake
(in C:/code)
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'default'

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

C:\code>
C:\code>type rakefile.rb
alias :original_directory :directory
def directory(dir)
   original_directory dir
   Rake::Task[dir]
end


namespace :utils do
   task :create_directories => [
      directory('public/icons'),
      directory('public/images'),
      directory('public/groups'),
   ]
end
C:\code>
