It looks like you might need to change your <button> tags to be of type <input type="submit"...>. The button element does not automatically cause a submit action when pressed, unless you add code to the "onClick" property to do so. Using a input type submit button should tell the form to submit to its controller.

Alternatively, look into grails "actionSubmit" tag, which works with g:form. Grails Documentation
