Rails - Mar 2006 - validation for items in a 1 2 many

I am populating a table skills which relate to a table cv in a 1 cv to 
many skills relationship...

I populate the skills as below;

  def new
    @session[:cv_id] = params[:id]
    @skill = Skill.new
  end

  def create
    @cv = Cv.find(@session[:cv_id])
    @cv.skills << Skill.new(params[:skill])
    if @cv.save
      flash[:notice] = ''Skill was successfully created.''
      redirect_to :action => ''show'', :controller =>
''cv_admin'', :id =>
@cv
    else
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end


Having got the create method to populate correctly, the validation 
helpers in the skills model have stopped working they trap errors on the 
form and send the form back, but the;

<%= error_messages_for ''skill'' %>

no longer works as it just has errors associated with cv rather than 
skill...

any idea how to make the standard helpers work in this 1 to many world?

Thanks
