Wahoo! I finally figured it out. My problem was caused by Suhosin security patch for PHP that is installed on my server.
Thanks to another member of this group, I fixed it. The solution is here: "About Security:cipher and Suhosin patch" http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/7e6cda2e03a7c54/b685c58394d86f50?lnk=gst&q=decrypt+cookie#b685c58394d86f50 Hope this saves someone else some grief.
