Login after registration not working

Hey all,

I'm trying to set up a user registration system that uses the Auth
component. I've set up both the registration and login parts of my
site, and separately each work as expected (i.e. a user can register
and is saved to the database, and a user can log in separately once
registered). But, I can't get seem to get the Auth component to log in
users automatically once they've registered.

I've poured over Google searches, the cookbook, the API documentation,
but nothing seems to get me around my issue.

Here's the beforeFilter in my app_controller:
function beforeFilter() {
// Override the default fields used by Auth component
$this->Auth->fields = array(
'username'=>'email',
'password'=>'password'
);

Here are the beforeFilter and register methods in my users_controller:
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow(array('register', 'login', 'logout'));
}

function register() {
if($this->Session->read('User.signedIn')) {
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'account'));
}

if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
// log the user in to his new account
$this->data['User']['password'] = $this->data['User']
['password1'];
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Hooray! The User has been
saved', true));
$this->Auth->login($this->data);
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Uh oh! That didn\'t work.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
}

The redirect takes place, but the user isn't actually getting logged-
in. Instead, they're dropped onto the login form with the
"Hooray! ..." flash message as well as the "You are not authorized..."
Auth flash message. So, it's clear that the $this->Auth->login($this-
>data) line isn't doing what's expected.

I've confirmed that the $this->data array contains the right keys and
values using debug:
app/controllers/users_controller.php (line 31)

Array
(
[User] => Array
(
[email] => asdfiaen@grr.com
[password1] => aaa
[password2] => aaa
[password] => aaa
)
)

So, I'm out of ideas. I really want to use the Auth component, but the
learning curve is giving me headaches. Any help will be hugely
appreciated!
