Basic ACL tutorial in 1.3 book will not work because Auth is not setting Auth.User

I cannot get the login function to work after following the acl tutorial.  I'm getting an "Auth.User doesn't exist" error when I dump the Session variable after calling "$this->Session->read('Auth.User);"  If searched all over the place for an answer and I am yet to find one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

app_controller

  1     <?php

  2     class AppController extends Controller {

  3         var $components = array('Acl', 'Auth', 'Session', 'Cookie');

  4         var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Session');

  5         function beforeFilter(){

  6             //Configure AuthComponent

  7             $this->Auth->actionPath = 'controllers/';

  8             $this->Auth->authorize = 'actions';

  9             $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'login');

 10             $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'logout');

 11             $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller'=>'posts', 'action'=>'add');

 12             $this->Auth->allowedActions = array('display');

 13         }

 14     }

 15 ?>

login action

  7     function login(){

  8         if($this->Session->read('Auth.User')){

  9             $this->Session->setFlash('You are logged in!');

 10             $this->redirect('/', null, false);
