My first suggestion is, if you haven't done this already, download Firebug for Firefox and observe exactly what is being sent from the browser to the server. Firebug has fantastic Ajax debugging support. You will probably spot the error there. The other Firefox plugin that would help is Live HTTP Headers. It does something similar. Maybe the form variables are not url encoded before being sent?
