Richfaces rich:datascroller on rich:dataTable commandlink not working

Question

I'm using a datascroller on a richtable and have the following column. When I click the link the table refreshes but goes to the first page not the page I was on. When I debug it the datamodel is hit but the datavisitor is set the first page. Any ideas?

<r:column>
<t:commandLink value="send" action="#{thingService.sendThing}">
<f:param name="#{params.thingid}" value="#{thing.id}"/>
</t:commandLink>
</r:column>
<r:dataTable id="thingTable" value="#{testDataModel}"  var="thing" rows="#{userPreferencesBean.rowsPerPage}"

BTW: The links on the first page work just fine. The links on the first page work.
