I've been playing with MVC 3 in a test project and have the following issue.

I have Group & Subscriber entities and those are coupled through a SubscriberGroup table.

Using the DetailView of Group I open a view of SubscriberGroup containing all subscribers. This list has the option to filter.

So far it all works, however when I call the AddToGroup method on the controller it fails. Specifically it goes into the method but doesn't pass the subscriberCheckedModels list. Am I doing something wrong?

View: SubscriberGroup Index.aspx

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Mail.Models.SubscriberCheckedListViewModel>" %>
…
<h2 class="common-box-title">
        Add Subscribers to Group</h2>
    <p>
        <% using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "SubscriberGroup"))
           { %>
            <input name="filter" id="filter" type="text" />
            <input type="submit" value="Search" />

        <%} %>
    </p>
            <% using (Html.BeginForm("AddToGroup", "SubscriberGroup", Model,FormMethod.Get, null))
           { %>
           <fieldset>
    <div style="display: inline-block; width: 70%; vertical-align: top;">
        <% if (Model.subscribers.Count() != 0)
           { %>
        <table class="hor-minimalist-b">
            <tr>
                <th>
                    Add To Group
