Recognition error on custom action?

Rails
1

VIEW:
<%= link_to “Remove”, :controller => “referrals”,
:action => “remove”,
:id => referral %>

CONTROLLER:
def remove
referral = Referral(params[:id])
referral.update_attribute(body, “Removed by user request on
#{Date.today}”)
redirect_to(:controller => “people”, :action => “show”, :id =>
@person.id)
end

ERROR:
Application error

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action
(like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

Recognition failed for “/referral/remove/3”
action_controller/routing.rb:522:in recognition_failed' action_controller/routing.rb:512:inrecognize!’

I guess the egg nog is making my brain slow but I haven’t the slightest
idea why Rails is crapping out on this. Do I need to use a form instead
of a link_to?

Usually the stack trace also say which line number throws the error.

I wonder >body< is defined anywhere? Or perhaps ‘body’?

Strangely the error is just a blank white page with the ‘Application
Error’ text, not the normal Rails trace.
