It seems that describe-variable isn't printing the variable structure
the way it really is, so then when you try to evaluate it, it doesn't
work.  Note that according to the docstring:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
This is a list of cons cells.  Each cell contains:

- a specification of the files to be considered, either a list of files,
  or a symbol...
- A specification of how to find candidate refile targets.  This may be
  any of:
  ...
  - a cons cell (:regexp . "REGEXP") with a regular expression matching
    headlines that are refiling targets.
#+END_QUOTE

So the variable is a list, which should contain at least one cons cell,
and the cons cells should have another cons cell as their cdrs.

Try this, it seems to work for me:

(let ((org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:regexp . "Tasks")))))
  (org-refile))

This is one advantage of the customize system: it makes it harder to get
these structures wrong.  :)
