Internal_redirect, clear_buffer, etc ... not saving session vars?

PROBLEM:

$m->session->{join_userdata} is undef in step2.red after an internal
redirect. I have made sure that this variable exists prior to redirecting.
Is there any way to maintain this data with a redirect?

CODE:

if(!@errors){

   $m->session->{join_userdata} = $data;

   $r->internal_redirect($root . 'step2.red');
      $m->auto_send_headers(0);
      $m->clear_buffer;
      $m->abort;

}

Thanks,
Adam
