Rails - Jul 2006 - Problem implementing password and password confirmation

Hi,
I''m trying to implement password confirmation, based on the Agile 
example, but just can''t make any progress.

User DB has these fields:
========================      t.column :name, :string, :limit => 40
      t.column :hashed_password, :string
      t.column :salt, :string

User model has:
==============  attr_accessor :password_confirmation
  validates_confirmation_of :password

  # ''password'' is a virtual attribute
  def password
    @password
  end

  def password=(pwd)
    @password = pwd
    create_new_salt
    self.hashed_password = User.encrypted_password(self.password, 
self.salt)
  end

Controller
=========
  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
    if @user.save
      flash[:notice] = "User #{@user.name} was successfully created."
      redirect_to :action => ''new''
    else
      flash[:notice] = "User #{@user.name} was NOT created."
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end

New view has
===========  <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create''
%>
  <%= render :partial => ''form'' %>
  <%= submit_tag "Create" %>
  <% end_form_tag %>

And _form.rhtml has:
===================<!--[form:user]-->
<p><label for="user_name">Name</label><br/>
<%= text_field ''user'', ''name'' 
%></p>

<label for="user_password">Password:</label><br />
<%= text_field :password, :size => 40 %><br />

<label for="user_password_confirmation">Confirm
Password:</label><br />
<%= text_field :password_confirmation, :size => 40 %><br />
<!--[eoform:user]-->

The error message is:
====================
User billy was NOT created.

3 errors prohibited this user from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

    * Password confirmation can''t be blank
    * Password should be at least 5 characters long
    * Password can''t be blank

Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for the help!
