When you say you are using request.vars.id, do you mean you have an "id" variable in the query string, as in /myform?id=1?
If so, change the name of that variable to something else, as the edit form will include its own hidden field with the name "id" -- so upon submission, there will be a request.post_vars.id and a request.get_vars.id, both of which will end up in a list in request.vars.id. More generally, to be safe, it's a good idea to use request.post_vars and request.get_vars specifically when you are dealing with requests that are likely to have both.
