`postgresql_connection’: No database specified. Missing argument: database. (ArgumentError)

I installed postgresql using Homebrew and am able to connect successfully from the command line using my local user name as the posgresql account. I get the above error, however, when running any database-related rake tasks and I can’t seem to figure out why.
