Rebake with rails command or rake task doesn't work, but rebuilding HTML does. Why?

edit:

A rake rebake task on the post triggers a PullHotLinkedImages in 4 minutes and also increases instantly the amount of processed task by one, but I couldn’t see anything added to the queue tab.

The few posts on which I did a manual HTML rebuild have been had their images perfectly displayed for days now (they are downloaded on my server as well).
