Thanks, I think that it is saving the object twice because when I put a debug print statement like print "Object Saved" in the model's save method, it prints this twice when the code is executed.
However, I did go back to it and did an SVN update on django (to 10731), now it appears to be working properly! I looked into it and it could have had to do with this ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10750 which was recently fixed.
