Trouble with Guard init command


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)

    from /Users/ash/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@myapplication/bin/guard:19:in `<main>'

RSpec runs fine:

[myapplication]$ bundle exec rspec
F

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'
