Missing Action

I'm working through a tutorial (Beginning CakePHP book) and am getting
an error I don't understand. The error says "Error: The action vote is
not defined in controller CommentsController" and "Error: Create
CommentsController::vote() in file: app/controllers/
comments_controller.php." However, this is what my app/controllers/
comments_controller.php file looks like:

<?
class CommentsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Comments';

function add() {
if(!empty($this->data)){
$this->Comment->create();
if($this->Comment->save($this->data)) {
$comments=$this->Comment-
>find('all',array('conditions'=>array('post_id'=>$this->data['Comment']
['post_id']),'recursive'=>-1);
$this->set(compact('comments'));
$this->render('add_success','ajax');
}else{
$this->render('add_failure','ajax');
}
}
}

function vote($type=null,$id=null) {
if($id){
$votes=$this->Comment->vote($type,$id);
$this->set(compact('votes'));
$this->render('votes','ajax');
}
}
}
?>

I've confirmed that the add action works by loading /comments/add, so
it's finding that action, why can't it find the vote action?

The portion of the application that deals with this is in /app/views/
posts/view.ctp, which looks like this:

<?=$html->link('<h1>' . $post['Post']['name'] . '</h1>', '/posts/
view/' . $post['Post']['id'],
null, null, false); ?>
<p>Author: <?=$post['User']['firstname']; ?> <?=$post['User']
['lastname']; ?></p>
<p>Date Published: <?=$time->nice($post['Post']['date']); ?></p>
<hr />
<p><?=$post['Post']['content']; ?></p>
<hr />
<h2>Comments</h2>
<div id="comments">
<? foreach ( $comments as $comment ): ?>
<div class="comment">
<div id="vote_<?=$comment['Comment']['id']; ?>">
<div class="cast_vote">
<ul>
<?=$ajax->link( '<li>up</li>',
'/comments/vote/up/' . $comment['Comment']
['id'],
array( 'update' => 'vote_' .
$comment['Comment']['id'] ), null, false ); ?>
<?=$ajax->link( '<li>up</li>',
'/comments/vote/down/' . $comment['Comment']
['id'],
array( 'update' => 'vote_' .
$comment['Comment']['id'] ), null, false ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="vote"><?=$comment['Comment']['votes']; ?></div>
</div>
<p><b><?=$comment['Comment']['name']; ?></b></p>
<p><?=$comment['Comment']['content']; ?></p>
</div>
<? endforeach; ?>
<?=$ajax->form( array( 'type' => 'post',
'options' => array( 'model' => 'Comment',
'update' => 'comments',
'url' =>
array( 'controller' => 'comments',
'action'
=> 'add' ) ) ) ); ?>
<?=$form->input( 'Comment.name' ); ?>
<?=$form->input( 'Comment.content' ); ?>
<?=$form->input( 'Comment.post_id', array( 'type' => 'hidden',
'value' => $post['Post']
['id'] ) ); ?>
<?=$form->end( 'Add Comment' ); ?>
</div>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck
