Difficulty adding new data to the model, then querying to veryify it exists.

I'm new to Cake -- so forgive my ignorance.

I have a simple User object I created. I have a component that I share
across controllers to do various features, check if a username is
valid, add a user, provide a password hashing method, etc. (think of
it as a service layer.)

The register controller that I created uses the login component to
perform the tasks it needs to do.. It uses some simple ajax to provide
information on if the username is valid, a password strength, etc.

Any who -- when I submit the index view back to the register
controller, I do the following:

1) Check to make sure username is valid.
2) Hash the password posted back to me using the hashing component.
3) $this->controller->User->create();
4) $this->controller->User->set($this->controller->data);
5) $this->controller->User->save();
6) The controller that's using this component then calls the login
method (again, in the component.)
6) redirect to the home controller (main page.)

It all appears to go okay.. I see that new records are added to the
database, etc., all at this time. However, the login function is not
working.

This leads me to believe that the User model is cached, is not
updated, or something other than what I'm expecting is not happening.

Is there a way to force the User model to update after I call User-
>save()?

Everything works individually (i.e., my login controller successfully
uses the login component to login a user, creates session information,
etc., ) it just doesn't work when orchestrated in the fashion I
described. I know I could just authenticate the user manually with the
information that I used to call the create user method of the
component, but now I'm curious and want to know what's going on.. hah

Anyone have any suggestions? Again, forgive my ignorance of the
framework as I'm brand new to it..

Thanks,

Ian
