Resque - rake aborts

Question

Iam new to ruby on rails, currently iam trying to make my task to run at background using resque gem

I had installed redis and resque gem successfully, Now i want to run my rake file which is placed at .../lib/tasks/resque.rake

content in resque.rake

require 'resque/tasks'

task "resque:setup" => :environment

I had started my redis server, Opened a new terminal and moved to my app path now i executed the rake command which is

rake resque:work QUEUE='*'

Now i got an error as

rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'resque:work' .../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:14:in eval' .../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:14:in'
