Hey Martin, I've put some of my comments inline here, hopefully they can help.

Do you keep getting redirected to the login form? This kept happening
to me...until I updated my app/core/config.php file to the newest
version. I was running quite a few revisions behind and once I
updated stuff, it went just fine.

Login form looks okay to me.

I've never used isset($this->Auth) before, and that might be causing
part of the problem. Is there an example out there that uses this, as
I've never seen that. Not saying that it's wrong, just that I haven't
seen it before.
Otherwise, things look okay to me here. One thing that sticks out is
to make sure that the status field for your model is, in fact, set to
'Activated'. Silly, I know, but worth looking at.

Hrm, that's a neat little construct. Haven't seen that before either.
Again, I'd love to see the link to that example.

I'd suggest that you remove ACL from the equation for now and make
sure that you can get Auth working first. Remember the motto: make
it work, then make it work better.
