It's one of those days... As soon as I send something to this list, I figure it out. The problem was my validationFailed forward was not resetting the "action" parameter for my dispatch action and it was hitting save even when it failed. I change the "input" attribute to "edit" (removing the validationFailed forward) and it solved my problem.
