Rails - Mar 2006 - inheritance problem with controllers

i have a controller like this:

class SpoilageController < DataEntryController
  before_filter { check_access_key(''_SP'') }
...

and in the parent class is this:

class DataEntryController < ApplicationController

  def check_access_key(key)
    if  !@session[:user].admin &&
        !@session[:user].data_entry_access.to_s.upcase.include?(key)
      render :text=>''You dont have access to this
function'',
:layout=>true
      false # disallow
    end
  end
...

But it crashes, with this error:
undefined method `check_access_key'' for SpoilageController:Class

Why can''t the spoilage class see the function in its parent class?
whats going on?

Try: before_filter { |controller|
controller.check_access_key(''_SP'') }
