Like i said before, if user is the user in question and the
association is called tasks then user.tasks.tasksdue is what you want.

If you look at your log files you'd see that that is searching for
rows where the user_id is the string 'user_id'.
If you want to be able to pass parameters into a scope then you need
somelike like lambda {|parameter1, parameter2| ...} and you then to
Task.tasksdue(foo,bar)
