You can find more information by invoking rake with the --trace argument.

rake db:sample_data:remove --trace

On another note, I've never seen a rake task delimited with a ' :'
only with a ':'.  You may want to check the code above and remove the
space after db.

One last thing, I think you can invoke the rake tasks without the need
for system.  Rake::Task['db:sample_data:remove'].invoke should work if
I recall correctly.

HTH,
