OK...I got it! Thanks everyone for your help! So to document and help anyone in the future that might need to do this, here is what I did.
1) followed the tutorial at http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/rss-feed-them-cake 2) changed the rss() function to become rss($user_hash). With this the URL to subscribe becomes /controller/function/user_hash. 3) last, I changed my query to only return the records that have that $user_hash in them from the table. 4) rejoice and cheer that you've got it working!
