I'm trying to use the gem attr_encrypted in my rails app.   I *think* my 
problem may be with hobo, but I'm not sure.   

attr_encrypted allows you to store encrypted data in the database, in a 
transparent way.   In the model, you say:

attr_encrypted :email, :key => "some key"

and you make the database field 

encrypted_email   :string

This works fabulously in the console.  Here is some console output:

Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.3)
>> c = Customer.new
=> #<Customer id: nil, name: nil, address: nil, csz: nil, encrypted_email: nil, 
created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
>> c.name = "Bob"
=> "Bob"
>> c.email = "[email protected]"
=> "[email protected]"
>> c.encrypted_email
=> "D+SyaYNgZjs47txfEnbTYQ==\n"
>> c.email
=> "[email protected]"
>> c.save
=> true
>> d = Customer.find_by_name("bob")
=> nil
>> d = Customer.find_by_name("Bob")
=> #<Customer id: 4, name: "Bob", address: nil, csz: nil, encrypted_email: 
"D+SyaYNgZjs47txfEnbTYQ==\n", created_at: "2011-03-15 13:55:49", updated_at: 
"2011-03-15 13:55:49">
>> d.email
=> "[email protected]"
>> 


And it works in my DRYML forms, but only if the record already exists.   If the 
form is for a new record, I get an error in the form

<field-list fields="name, address, csz, email" param/>   doesn't work.     If I 
remove 'email' from this list, it does work (no surprise).  Any ideas?
