The problem is that you are trying to use the ruby binary from RVM but your path is still setup to use other scripts from the Chef omnibus install. The trace shows rake running the the omnibus folder but ruby from RVM. Fix the PATH environment variable used for the bash recipe or source the RVM shell config in the bash code before running rake. This will likely require forking the above cookbooks unless they have explicit support for each other.
