Anyone having issues syncing/importing existing data during initial configuration of tolk

I'm trying to setup tolk source: http://github.com/dhh/tolk

I'm at the point where I'm running:

$ rake tolk:sync

and

$ rake tolk:import

but neither will work. I get the following error

~/Rails/appname: rake tolk:sync --trace
(in /Users/username/Rails/appname)

I have a partially populated en, fr, and another misc locale file but it won't seem to import or sync. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Prior tutorial had me creating a default locale of 'pt' corrected it:

in config/initializer/locale.rb

tell the I18n library where to find your translations

I18n.load_path += Dir[ File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'lib', 'locale', '*.{rb,yml}') ]

you can omit this if you're happy with English as a default locale

I18n.default_locale = "pt-BR" #changed to 'en'
