I think he's using the delete action (note the name) as an
intermediary action to hold a form with DELETE method pointing to the
_destroy_ action that actually deletes the record. That's pretty much
the only way to use an accessible link to perform a destructive action
afaik.

So what happens? Does the request get to Rails? Have you used Firebug
to debug what happens inside the behaviour (e.g. what does options
look like when you make the request)?
