invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

Getting the following error when attempting to run the rake task - any ideas?

Tasks: TOP => notes

Looks like it's choking on a gem in the vendor folder which looks like this:

text = "This is a test of the new xml markup. Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn\n" * 10000

I think the gem is purposely checking against internationalization encoding. Is there a way to exclude certain folders in the rake notes?
