I have an application that uses the Sentry plug-in. I am using Sentry  
on my Users model for encrypting passwords. It works fine inside the  
application, but whenever I call User.create in my migration (in order  
to set-up a default user) I get the following error when I run the  
migrations:

rake aborted!  
undefined method `symmetrically\_encrypts’ for User:Class

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way that I can include  
the Sentry plug-in somewhere so that its methods are available during  
migrations?
