Hi Dave,

the data in the array is slightly different for HABTM associations,
basically it's:
$this->data['Tag']['Tag'] = array(2, 4, 10); // array of Tag.id's
check the manual page towards the bottom on saving HABTM associations.
Once you've got the theory, check out the bakery for articles/code
etc, as there's loads on there for dealing with HABTM (it's a common
source of frustration at the beginning)
One other thing, your table set up looks like the conventional, so you
don't need the extra params, a simple:
// in Image model
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Tag');
// Tag
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Image');
Also, a HABTM join is by it's very nature not unique, so I'm pretty
sure that parameter isn't available for this type of association.
