Unable to make PUT/POST/DELETE HTTP Call using CORS in JQuery 1.6.4

So, I can successfully make a GET call to my service using CORS. However, something must be going wrong at the preflight level for the POST, PUT, and DELETE operations. However, from what I can tell, the header responses my server is returning in response to the OPTIONS query are correct and match those described in

Here is my javascript code, using $.ajax in JQuery 1.6.4.

$.ajax({
  url: 'http://myhome:8080/TaskApproval/resources/tasks/2',
  context: this,
  data: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <task> <description>Get carrots from the grocery store</description><originator>Chris</originator><subject>Get Carrots !!</subject><taskId>2</taskId> </task> ',
  timeout: 30000,
  type: 'PUT',
  contentType: 'application/xml',
  success: function(response) {
    alert(response);
    result = response;
  },
  error: function(xhr) {
    alert('Error!  Status = ' + xhr.status + " Message = " + xhr.statusText);
  }
});

Now, this is what my HTTP Trail looks like, courtesy of Firebug.
