Trouble with Guard init command - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

I'm trying to setup Guard using this tutorial, however when I run bundle exec guard init or bundle exec guard init rspec
I'm on OSX, running RVM 1.14.1 and Rails 3.2.5.
I get the following errors:
[myapplication]$ bundle exec guard init rspec
/Users/ash/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290#myapplication/gems/guard-1.1.0/lib/guard/cli.rb:145:in `init': undefined method `create_guardfile' for Guard:Module (NoMethodError)

RSpec runs fine:
[myapplication]$ bundle exec rspec

Also my gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.2.5'
group :development, :test do
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'guard-rspec'
gem 'growl'
gem 'rb-fsevent'
gem 'spork-rails'
gem 'guard-spork'
end
gem 'sqlite3'
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end
gem 'jquery-rails'

I just had the same problem in Ubuntu Server 11.10. In my case there was some problem with the versions of the gems. I changed the guard gem version in the Gemfile from 1.1.0 to 0.10.0 and it worked. Here is my Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.2.3'
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
group :development, :test do
#gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
gem 'guard','0.10.0'
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.9.0'
gem 'guard-rspec', '0.5.5'
gem 'guard-bundler'
end
# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '3.2.4'
gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
end
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.0'
group :test do
gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
gem 'rb-inotify', '0.8.8'
gem 'libnotify', '0.5.9'
end
group :production do
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
end
