Can't mass-assign attributes in nested form despite specifying in attr_accessible

So I have a couple models user and memoir.

User.rb

  has_many :memoirs
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :memoirs

  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :memoir_attributes
  attr_accessor :password
  before_save :encrypt_password

  validates_confirmation_of :password
  validates_presence_of :password, :on => :create
  validates_presence_of :email
  validates_uniqueness_of :email

and Memoir.rb

  belongs_to :user
  attr_accessible :user_id, :content, :birth, :death, :name, :subdomain

  validates_uniqueness_of :subdomain

However when I save (the memoir is nested inside the user form) I get this message and the memoir doesn't save: "WARNING: Can't mass-assign protected attributes: memoir"

Confused

You have 

has_many :memoirs

and

accepts_nested_attributes_for :memoirs

So surely 

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :memoir_attributes

Should be

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :memoirs_attributes

?

If I have that wrong then check your log file. That should tell you what the issue is
