Thanks Greg. I've added the following to my routes.rb:

map.add_groups '/users/add_groups/:id', :controller => 'users', :action 
=> 'add_groups'


And changed url in form_remote_tag to:

<% form_remote_tag :update => 'divgrouptable', :url => 
add_groups_path(@user) do %>
...


and got it to work.
However, I cannot say I understand why I'd have to do this. I don't 
really want to map the add_groups method to any url. In my original 
example I was specifying the method name and the controller name in the 
url:


<% form_remote_tag :url => { :controller => :users, :action =>
:add_groups } do %>


which should tell rails everything it needs to know to invoke the right 
method in the right controller, routing should not have anything to do 
with that. I understand that it obviously does but I don't understand 
why.
