Rails - Jan 2006 - acts_as_taggable => error: undefined method ''tag''

I get an "undefined method ''tag''" when I try to use
the
acts_as_taggable.

Note that it''s not the issue of bouncing webrick after changing the 
environment.rb file. (I stumbled on that too... :-( ).

I read all the doc I could find (on this site, on 
http://rails.techno-weenie.net and at http://taggable.rubyforge.org/) 
but I couldn''t find anything I might be doing wrong.

I marked my Item model as "acts_as_taggable" right at the top and in 
item_controller::create method I''m calling @item.tag method after
saving
the item.

#item.rb
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_taggable
...

#item_controller.rb
...
if @item.save
  @item.reload
  @item.tag("cool")
  redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id=> @item.id
end
...

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance...

The resolution is very interesting but it has nothing to do with 
acts_as_taggable.

At some point I realized that no changes in the model (item.rb) are 
picked up by rails. No matter what I tried (I even reboot my machine), 
rails kept happy with a model file that, at that point, had obvious junk 
in it.

Turns out rails was picking up an older file from a subdirectory of the 
models directory (i.e. app/models/save/item.rb). I had to change that 
file name to xitem.rb to convince rails it is not my model file.

Looks like a bug in rails to me?

Considering this is the first time I loose a few hours to a stupid rails 
bug after a few months of using it, I guess I can?t complain. But still, 
it was pretty frustrating :-(
