recursive not working?

Hi

I have a model where Paper and Author are in HABTM relation. I also
have a model for the join table AuthorsPaper.

When doing this operation (in a method of the Author model class)

$this->AuthorsPaper->updateAll(
array('author_id' => $first_author),
array('author_id' => $second_author)
);

I'd like to avoid the join in the generated query, thus I put

$this->AuthorsPaper->recursive = -1;

but the joins are performed anyway...

Instead, if I do this (instead of setting recursive)

$this->AuthorsPaper->unbindModel(
array('belongsTo' => array('Paper'))
);
$this->AuthorsPaper->unbindModel(
array('belongsTo' => array('Author'))
);

the joins are not performed...

am I missing something? Shouldn't this be the same of setting recursive
to -1?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo
