Just to explain this a bit more: The way $this->User->save() works depends on whether it can find an id. It first looks at $this->data['User']['id'], if that is empty it then looks at $this->User->id and then if that is empty as well it will insert rather than update. This is fine but the catch comes after the save.
After a model is inserted the last insert id is automatically assigned to $this->User->id, therefore any successive calls to $this->User- >save() will find $model->id and update the record with that id. Calling $this->User->create() tell the User model that you want to create a new entry and clears $this->User->id Hope that clears up _why_ your problem was happening.
