$form->create('Comment') associates the form with the 'Comment' model,
but not a controller. Presumably because the 'Comments' model could
be used in many or all of your controllers with $uses. The 'action'
option assumes the current controller, so if you render your element
in the Posts controller, the action is assumed /posts/add. url is the
option you are looking for.

Hope that helps,
