Ugrading from an older app to rails 3.1, including the csrf meta tag is still not solving it. On the rubyonrails.org blog, they give some upgrade tips, and specifically this line of jquery which should go in the head section of your layout:

$(document).ajaxSend(function(e, xhr, options) {
 var token = $("meta[name='csrf-token']").attr("content");
  xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRF-Token", token);
});

taken from this blog post: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/2/8/csrf-protection-bypass-in-ruby-on-rails.

In my case, the session was being reset upon each ajax request. Adding the above code solved that issue.
