heroku db:pull does not work?

Question

I get the following error message:

heroku db:pull --debug postgres://USERNAME:PASSWORD@localhost/test 
Loaded Taps v0.3.23
Warning: Data in the database 'postgres://USERNAME:PASSWORD@localhost/test' will be overwritten and will not be recoverable.
Receiving schema
Unable to fetch tables information from http://heroku:[email protected]. Please check the server log.

The command above does not produce any messages in the log that can be viewed using 'heroku logs'.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Use pgbackups instead of taps/db:pull
