Please post backtraces when you have failures. "response of false" could mean 
too many different things.

Not sure if it's related, but I notice this line in the pastie:

  TaskOrder.stub!(:find, @task_order.id).and_return(@task_order)

This is incorrect usage of stub. If you're trying to constraint the stub to the 
id, you have to use the "with" method, which would also need something to 
account for the hash with :include => "criteria":

  TaskOrder.stub!(:find).with(@task_order.id, anything).and_return(@task_order)

The "anything" method is an argument matcher that will match against anything 
passed in. If you want to be specific about the hash as well, you could do this:

  TaskOrder.stub(:find).with(@task_order.id, "include" => 
"criteria").and_return(@task_order)

But I'd recommend against this level of detail and stick to either "anything" 
or perhaps defining a named scope or a wrapper method for including the 
criteria:

  
TaskOrder.stub_chain("with_criteria.find").with(@task_order.id).and_return(@task_order)
  
  
TaskOrder.stub(:find_with_criteria).with(@task_order.id).and_return(@task_order)
  

I don't really like the name "find_with_criteria" but hopefully you'll come up 
with something better :)

HTH,
David
