Redmine

Using the REST API to update a issue I'm able to successfully adjust/change the subject but when changing priorities and statuses I'm seeing a total failure.. redmine is sending a 200 OK in response and the produciton.log contains

Processing IssuesController#update to xml (for 192.168.16.79 at 2010-11-03 12:08:59) [PUT]
Parameters: {"format"=>"xml", "action"=>"update", "id"=>"198", "controller"=>"issues", "issue"=>{"project_id"=>"14", "priority"=>{"name"=>"High", "id"=>"5"}, "subject"=>"Test"}}
Completed in 112ms (View: 1, DB: 15) | 200 OK [http://redmine.*********.private/issues/198.xml]

the subject takes bute the priority is never changed from low to high
