Okay, then you have another issue. For some reason, current_user isn't in the world when the method is being called, or maybe it's not in scope within that method. Can you put a breakpoint inside the method and see what current_user equals at that point? Are you using Devise or Authologic or similar, and are you sure the user is assigned (logged in) at the moment that this method runs?

I didn't try assigning a variable from outside of the method when I did my little test (quoted earlier), just did a static assignment, and it worked. We need to figure out how to get current_user into scope where you need it, and then you can have the same success.
