If I'm not mistaken, there's already an email column in your users table and Devise is trying to add it again. Try removing the email field step from the rake task.

This is the relevant part of the error message:

SQLite3::SQLException: duplicate column name: email: ALTER TABLE "users" ADD "em ail" varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL

Hope it helps
