Oh, I misunderstood your reply. My apologies. I now see that you're
saying that the validates_uniqueness_of is the validation that is
throwing the error because I am using a Section from the Fixtures.
However, if I simply remove the validates_presence_of validation it
works fine. In addition, it fails even if I don't use the fixtures and
simply enter in a random string for the :name value.
