ValueError: Dependency on unknown app: customauth

I am trying to create a project with a custom User in Django 1.8 and Python 3.4 with django-tenant-schemas. (I am using git+https://github.com/tomturner/django-tenant-schemas.git as it has a fix for what appears to be another bug I had run into).

The customauth/models.py and customauth/admin.py are copies directly off of the Django 1.8 webpage.

I followed the setup for django-tenant-schemas and the main part is:

TENANT_MODEL = "customers.Client"
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'customauth.MyUser'

# Application definition

SHARED_APPS = (
    'tenant_schemas',  # mandatory
    'customers', # you must list the app where your tenant model resides in

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    # everything below here is optional
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.admin',
)

TENANT_APPS = (
    # The following Django contrib apps must be in TENANT_APPS
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    # your tenant-specific apps
    'customauth',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = list(set(SHARED_APPS + TENANT_APPS))

The problem when I do a python manage.py makemigrations I get the following error:

$ python manage.py makemigrations
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise ValueError("Dependency on unknown app: %s" % key[0])
ValueError: Dependency on unknown app: customauth

If I comment out the AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'customauth.MyUser' line then everything appears to run correctly.

$ python manage.py makemigrations

So, what might I be doing wrong? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
