fix unhandled exception in db:initial_setup

Runnning rake db:initial_setup was blowing up from with in the rescue block. It was because I had too short a password but the error wasn't being printed

On my setup the following code generates a error like "can't convert RuntimeError into String"

I'm using ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]

begin
  raise RuntimeError.new "error"
rescue e
  puts "Some string" + e
end

This code however passes

begin
  raise RuntimeError.new "error"
rescue e
  puts "Some string #{e}"
end

I realize this is like a deeper issue than my cheap fix, but I don't have time to get it into. I hope you find this helpful. Below is the command and full stack trace.
