I tested Kristian's two lines, but it broke the ApplicationController with "uninitialized constant Rails::DataMapper::IdentityMaps" error. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
The standard "user Rails::DataMapper::Middleware:IdentityMap" and enforcing the :external repo through self.respository in the model works - I can access the model from the controller. I'm not certain, though, whether the IM is used in this case? Thanks again for your tips, guys! You helped me get over a frustrating bump!
