Make sure you don't have two controllers with the same name! I was moving some controllers from one assembly I was throwing away into the website... whilst the website no longer had references to the old assembly other assemblies did which meant it was copied in to the WebSite bin folder. The route discovery process then seemed to fail silently when it came across two occurrences of the same controller!
