Actually, your html markup is fine. I added the following javascript to your markup

$(document).ready(function() {
    var a = [{
        permit: "permit1",
        region: 'region1',
        landowner: 'landowner'},
    {
        permit: "permit2",
        region: 'region2',
        landowner: 'landowner2'}];
    var vm = {};
    vm.requestList = ko.observableArray([]);

    ko.applyBindings(vm);

    $('#loadData').click(function() {
        var a1 = ko.mapping.fromJS(a);
        var b1 = a1();
        vm.requestList(b1);
    });
});​

And it seems to be working as you describe how you want things to work. It is working at http://jsfiddle.net/photo_tom/xmk3P/10/
