I think the callback function is not called at all. Have you tried to
put a break point in this function? I think it's not called because
the save strategy gives protocol.commit its own callback. Instead of
setting "callback" in the protocol config, you should register
listeners to the save strategy's "success" and "fail" events, and do
the work there.

it calls onUnselect, shouldn't it call unselect instead?
