Check out the docs:

    http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9/usage.html#defining-roles

You need to define the roles in env.roledefs (a dict), not as
top-level env variables :) So you could replace lines 4 and 5 with the
below::

    env.roledefs = {
        'webserver': ['www1', 'www2'],
        'dbserver': ['db1']
    }

That should work correctly.

The docs are pretty sparse right now; they'll be updated soon to be more
tutorial-esque in spots, so stuff like this should become more visible.

Best,
Jeff
