User creation doesn't work

[Xodarap]

After creating a user, I had to manually mark them as active and give them a role:

db.users.update({"username": "benwest"}, 
  { $set: 
    { "staff_role": true,
      "approved": true,
      "admin": true
   }
 })

I had the default_user_approved: true in my yaml file, but it didn't seem to work.

I also noticed that the admin:create_admin_account rake task doesn't mark staff_role: true, so the resulting account isn't usable.
