How did I end up with read-only access?

I see that my app/view/email/_form.rhtml file contains only
this:

<%= error_messages_for 'emailtemplate' %>

<!--[form:emailtemplate]-->
<!--[eoform:emailtemplate]-->


which is probably a big part of the problem.  But the
scaffold command 
did not give any hint of a problem:

[roottrump admin]# script/generate scaffold emailtemplate
Email
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      exists  app/views/email
      exists  test/functional/
  dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
        skip    app/models/emailtemplate.rb
   identical    test/unit/emailtemplate_test.rb
   identical    test/fixtures/emailtemplates.yml
      create  app/views/email/_form.rhtml
      create  app/views/email/list.rhtml
      create  app/views/email/show.rhtml
      create  app/views/email/new.rhtml
      create  app/views/email/edit.rhtml
      create  app/controllers/email_controller.rb
      create  test/functional/email_controller_test.rb
      create  app/helpers/email_helper.rb
      create  app/views/layouts/email.rhtml
   identical  public/stylesheets/scaffold.css


Any ideas?  What data, specific to my app, does the scaffold
generator 
even look at?  I though the _form file just generically said
"Get the 
columns in the database and display a field for each of them
associated 
with the column name".
