requestAction wants view from requested controller

hi, i am building an api plugin for my webapp...i have almost
everything working well except for the actual rendering. The plugin
will authenticate and then essentially, from the url, do an action ,
grab the data, and return it as xml or json. An exmaple url might be:
http://webapp.local/api/?token=1234&params=4&method=users.view

the plugin will validate a user by token, then call the Users
controller view action, passing 4.

In my plugin beforeFilter method, i've called

$this->layout = "api";
$this->autoRender = false;

and the actual logic to get the data looks like:

function parse()
{

//using the url, get a controller's action data
$data = $this->requestAction(
array("controller"=>$this->controller,"action"=>$this->action),
array('pass' => array($this->actionParams))
);
$this->render("/elements/api");
$this->set("data",$data);
}

if i debug $data, everything i expect is there. However, cake's
warning is i am missing the view for my plugin controller...but it's
there. Thoughts?
