Behavior can create new records but fails to update.

I have been going straight with this one for a few hours now and I'm
stumped.

Usually from a controller you can just call $this->Model->read, and
then $this->Model->save to update any values changed inbetween.

When I try the same from my Behavior it fails to update the record.
If I eliminate the read and just make up some valued it will however
write a new record.
When it writes a new record I can see the insert statement in my sql
log. Otherwise I see no update statement. Further the save operation
returns empty.

Heres what I have

function banuser(&$model,$userID,$action='unspecific action'){
//get their info
$foo=$model->findById($userID);
$model->data=$model->read(null, $userID);
debug($model->data); //data was retrieved successfully
//overwrite their password
$model->data['User']['password']='ThisUserViolatedTerms'.date
('dmY');
//save new password effectively blocking them out.
//also save boolena field to lock
$model->data['User']['isBanned']=1;

$pass=$model->save($model->data);
debug($pass);

Any ideas would be great
