Rails - Feb 2010 - save has-many associations

I have the following association

class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :sections
  has_many :items, :through => :sections
end
class Section < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :document
  has_many :items
end
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :section
end

Here is the sample view for the ''new'' action
<% form_for(@document) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <p>
    <p> Header <p/><br />
    <%= f.label :hdrcomment %>
    <%= f.text_field :hdrcomment %>
  </p>
  <% for section in @document.sections %>
     <% f.fields_for section, :index => section do |s| %>
      <%= section.seqnum %><br />
      <% for item in section.items %>
         <% s.fields_for item, :index => item do |i| %>
            <%= i.text_area :comments %><br />
         <% end %>
      <% end %>
     <% end %>
  <% end %>
  <p>
    <%= f.submit "Submit Document" %>
  </p>
<% end %>

What is way to save the header, sections and items. Do I have to iterate
the request hash.
The below code doesn''t work. Gives ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError
inDocumentsController#create

def create
 @document = Document.new(params[:document])
 @document.save!
end

Request:
{"commit"=>"Submit Document",
"authenticity_token"=>"+uOqJn1DSjzK6r1iIkaIqZa9VrKpU2Yr/A6zP0vg0eM=",
"document"=>{"section"=>{"#<Section:0xb74045f4>"=>{"item"=>{"#<Item:0xb73d2860>"=>{"comments"=>"asdf"},
"#<Item:0xb73d1af0>"=>{"comments"=>"sdf"}}},
"#<Section:0xb7403794>"=>{"item"=>{"#<FeedbackItem:0xb73ce6fc>"=>{"comments"=>"sdf"}}},
"#<Section:0xb740ea90>"=>{"item"=>{"#<Item:0xb73e0e74>"=>{"comments"=>"asd"}}}},
"hdrcomment"=>" asdf"}}

Thanks much.
