jgGrid not showing data using asp.Net MVC 3.0

I am having a problem showing json data returned from my view in jgGrid 4.0 in the head section I have

<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.5.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/modernizr-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="/Scripts/jquery.lazyload.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/global.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

  <script src="/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

the body

$(document).ready(function () {

    jQuery("#grid").jqGrid({
        url: '@Url.Action("getusers", "dashboard",new {area="Security"})',
        datatype: "json",

        mtype: "GET",
        colNames: ['Id', 'UserName'],

        colModel: [
        { name: 'Id', index: 'Id',width: 200, align: 'left'},
        { name: 'UserName', index: 'UserName', width: 200, align: 'right' }

        ],
        rowList: null,        
        pgbuttons: false,     
        pgtext: null,        
        viewrecords: false,

      page:false,
        caption: "Users"
    });
    });

here the Action code returning a json

public JsonResult GetUsers()
        {
            var repo = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<IRepository<User>>();
            var result = (from x in repo.Query(x => x.ApplicationName == "DBM") select new {Id=x.Id, UserName=x.UserName}).ToArray();
            return this.Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }

I tested in both firefox and IE 9 the grid renders empty, no errors in firebug and data looks OK. any hints would be appreciated.

jqGrid requires a specifc json format:

try this 

 var jsonData = new
     {
         total = (rowcount + paging.Size - 1) / paging.Size
         page = paging.Page,
         records = rowcount,
         rows = (
                 from x in repo.Query(x => x.ApplicationName == "DBM")
                 select new 
                 {
                    id=x.Id,
                    cell = new string[]
                    {
                      // the order of the columns here must match 
                      x.Id, 
                      x.UserName
                    }
                })
     };

     return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
