undefined method 'exitstatus' for nil nilclass on rake db:structure:dump

When I try to do a rake db:structure:dump in rails, for the first time. I needed to switch to the sql fromat. I get this: (PostgreSQL database)

C:\Sites\care>rake db:structure:dump --trace
Creating scope :search. Overwriting existing method PgSearch::Document.search.
