acts_as_taggable not saving values

Question

I am trying to pass some values through a json api and I can not seem to get tags to be passed to the db:

Console Output:

Started POST "/api/v1/miboxes/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-03-15 18:29:23 -0500

   (2.4ms)  commit transaction
Completed 201 Created in 82ms (Views: 2.3ms | ActiveRecord: 4.3ms)

Current curl:

curl -v -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Token token="tWJ3nqnNx6yxzC6pkWyo"' -X POST http://localhost:4000/api/v1/miboxes/ -d '{"mibox":{"content":"search","user_id":"19", "name":"tags nine","location":"attic", "tag_list":["home", "house", "shed"]}}'

The parameters in my controller:

 def mibox_params
    #params.require(:mibox).permit!
    params.require(:mibox).permit(:content, :location, :myboximages, :myboximages_cache, :remove_myboximages, :name, :user_id, tag_list: [:taggings])
  end

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Figured it out. Changed the tag list attribute to an array:

tag_list: []
