Rails 2.3.2 - template question

Simplest of template files, tst.rb, contains:

PROJECT_NAME = File.basename(RAILS_ROOT) run 'echo ' + PROJECT_NAME

Running command "rails tst -m ~/Rails_Tools/tst.rb" produces:

      create       create app/controllers       .       .       create log/development.log       create log/test.log     applying template: /Users/rick/RailsTools/tst.rb Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by

Then, cd tst and running command "rake rails:template LOCATION=~/ Rails_Tools/tst.rb" produces:

(in /Users/rick/tst)     applying template: /Users/rick/RailsTools/tst.rb    executing echo tst from /Users/rick/tst      applied /Users/rick/RailsTools/tst.rb

Why the different behavior - what changes between rails runtime environment and rake runtime environment?

nevermind...

I just realized that I'm asking rails to answer a question about an environment that it's in the process of creating. That won't work.
