When I try to cleanup my rails versions with sudo gem cleanup rails

I get the following error:

Cleaning up installed gems...
Attempting to uninstall rails-2.3.5
Unable to uninstall rails-2.3.5:
Gem::InstallError: cannot uninstall, check `gem list -d rails`
Attempting to uninstall rails-1.2.6
Unable to uninstall rails-1.2.6:
Gem::InstallError: cannot uninstall, check `gem list -d rails`

gem list -d rails results in:

rails (2.3.8, 2.3.5, 1.2.6)

Any one know what's wrong?
