Rails 4 import gravatars doesn't work

I have been doing the full Treebook app using Rails 4 and have been able to get everything to work so far, well until now. I can't get the get_gravatars method to work. My git repository is at: https://github.com/toddnestor/hercbook

I added the validation requirements that made paperclip work with my version in the first place but now when I run my get_gravatar rake method I get the following output in my log:

My get_gravatar method looks like this:

def self.get_gravatars
        all.each do |user|
            if !user.avatar?
                user.avatar = URI.parse(user.gravatar_url)
                if user.save
                    print "."
                else
                    print "x"
                end
            end
        end
    end

I modified it so I could see in the console if it is working or not.

My gravatars.rake file looks like this:

desc "Import avatars from a user's gravatar URL"
task :import_avatars => :environment do
  puts "Importing avatars from Gravatar"
  User.get_gravatars
  puts "\nAvatars updated"
end

Any help would be appreciated. As this is a non-critical part of the Treebook app I am going to move on to the next steps for now and come back to this a little later, unless someone can help me out then I will fix it sooner :)
