The methods you are using, if I understand you correctly, should work. I would need to take a look at the exact code that is creating a new object to help you out. But one thing you can look at is http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/many_to_many/ . It is very helpful at showing how the manytomanyfields work. If you are still having an issue, post the offending code to dpaste.com and we can take a look.
