Template can't find my named iron-router route

In a meteor project using iron-router, a pathFor in my template can't find a named route. I think I've adhered to the syntax in the guides.

Here's the spacebars code:

<a href="{{pathFor 'tag.show' _id=this._id }}" class="tag" id="{{title}}">{{title}}</a>

And here's the iron-router code:

Router.route('/tags/:_id', function() {
  this.layout('layout');

  this.render('tags');

  this.render('tagDetail', {
    to: 'topDrawer',
    data: function() {
      return Tags.findOne({
        _id: this.params._id
      });
    }
  });
}, {
  name: 'tag.show'
});

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: The exact error in my console is

pathFor couldn't find a route named "tag.show"

EDIT 2: For kicks, I tried retrieving another simpler route by name:

Router.route('/', function() {
  this.render('home');
}, {
  name: 'home'
});

Router.go('post.show');

And I get an 'undefined' error. I haven't been able to solve this problem.

I think you have your declaration backwards, try:

Router.route('tag.show', function() {
  this.layout('layout');

  this.render('tags');

  this.render('tagDetail', {
    to: 'topDrawer',
    data: function() {
      return Tags.findOne({
        _id: this.params._id
      });
    }
  });
}, {
  path: '/tags/:_id'
})

By the way this may be caused by a change in the iron router api. The version I'm using is 0.9.4 and this is how I declare routes in that version:

this.route('home', {path: '/'});

Then elsewhere I define a custom controller:

HomeController = RouteController.extend({
  // nothing yet
});
