Can't get store CRUD methods to be called

[tachtevrenidis]

I have a button (on a form.Panel) with the follow tap handler:

                            var thisController = this;
                            var store = thisController.getContactsStore();
                            var cmVp = thisController.getCmViewport();
                            var bar = cmVp.getNavigationBar();


                            bar
                                    .add({
                                        id : 'donebutton',
                                        xtype : 'button',
                                        align : 'right',
                                        text : addOrEdit,
                                        ui : 'action',
                                        listeners : {
                                            'tap' : function(component, e,
                                                    eOpts) {
                                                console
                                                        .log('CM.controller.Contacts doneButton onTap');


                                                var updatePanel = thisController
                                                        .getContactUpdatePanel();


                                                var panelRecord = updatePanel
                                                        .getRecord();
                                                if (panelRecord != null) {
                                                    console
                                                            .log('updating contact');


                                                    updatePanel.updateRecord(
                                                            panelRecord, true);


                                                    console
                                                            .log('record updated');


                                                    if (panelRecord.dirty) {
                                                        console
                                                                .log('record is dirty');


                                                        panelRecord.save();


                                                        console
                                                                .log('record saved');


                                                        store.sync();


                                                        console
                                                                .log('store synced');
                                                    } else {
                                                        console
                                                                .log('record is not dirty, bailing');
                                                    }
                                                }

The store->proxy handler currently only contain a console.log() statement (they are empty) except for read() which works. The moment the code above hits: 'panelRecord.save()' it kinda hangs (I don't see the console.log immediately afterwards). I have tried many things with no success. What am I doing wrong?
The console.log statements I see in the log are:

2012-01-10 10:42:14.451 SenchaTouch2POC[7585:fb03] [INFO] doneButton onTap
2012-01-10 10:42:14.452 SenchaTouch2POC[7585:fb03] [INFO] updating contact
2012-01-10 10:42:14.453 SenchaTouch2POC[7585:fb03] [INFO] record updated
2012-01-10 10:42:14.453 SenchaTouch2POC[7585:fb03] [INFO] record is dirty

You shouldn't call save() on the model. sync() on the store will handle the saving.

thanks for the quick response. If I remove panelRecord.save(), there is no change in behavior. I never see:

console.log('store synced');

and I never see the console.log() from the store->proxy->update() method. I know I have the right reference to the store because if (right before store.sync()) i do a:

console.log(store.getTotalCount());

I see '2' in the console log which is correct, my store has 2 records. I must be missing something OBVIOUS!

[tachtevrenidis]

there must be something I am doing wrong? Anybody out there who can help me? Do I need to post more code to provide a more complete picture?
