API logging on Heroku fails

[fjenett]

Not sure if this is just a config problem …

$ heroku run rake db:create_super_admin[prod] -a piecemaker2-api-public
Running `rake db:create_super_admin[prod]` attached to terminal... up, run.7825

afaik heroku does not provide a 100% writeable filesystem. you'd need to write to one of the designated locations:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#ephemeral-filesystem

Yes, we already have a check in the environment.yml but after initialising the logger … duh!
