Ruby on Rails

I've created a brand new Rails 2.3.8 app.
No gems, nothing.

I created only the bare necessities:
Two models (Member and Folder)
one controller (MembersController with only new and create actions)
one view (new).

I can create one member with default folders as per my callback (the
very first one), but any subsequent members don't get default folders
created for them.

But again, when I try the same thing from script/console everything
works (I create new member and, bam, two folders come into existence
as well)..

w t f....
