Hi Al,
As you already found, the base level of your database structure is found in schema.rb. but db:migrate will not help you in this case, although you created a new member since it compares the migration number (aka schema version) to the number found in the schema_info table (version column) in your working db.
try copying the schema.rb file into your new project and issue the db:schema:load command.
hope this helps.
