Are you working in CakePHP debug mode ? I would advise setting the debug level to 2 , this would output performed sql queries which can be usefull in this case to find the cause of the error.
Also, come to think of it ... I think Cake gives 404 errors when in production mode (debug level 0), thus hiding the real error message. Good luck !
