Sorry, I should have been more clear as to my problem.  I haven't had any problem getting sortable trees up and going (these libraries are fantastic).  The problem I've hit is when trying to build a method to allow me to take a resorted tree and then save the new tree structure back to the model objects (using position numbers and parent_id's for categories, in my case).

For sortable lists, the sortable_element() helper automatically generates a parameter with the name of the enclosing sortable element containing an array of the sortable items' ids.  I've been having trouble trying to get this to work with trees.  I'm not even sure at this point whether it's better to try to tweak the sortable_element() helper or keep working directly in _javascript_ (what I've been focused on).

The most recent release of Scriptaculous offers this functionality.
Take a look at the tests/examples in the repository, notably:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/spinoffs/scriptaculous/test/
functional/sortable_tree_test.html

There is also some (minimal) documentation in the wiki, at:
