please check plugin import is correct. See the README for instructions. Also check cake version, this is a 1.3 plugin.

Also, make sure that you've set your user_group_id correctly. I was hand coding it, and I set the rank value as the group id instead of the proper id, and it was throwing this same error

I've encountered this exception when login as guest after a long period with the browser opened. To solve this you can change the method authsome:login to this one

    public function login($type = 'credentials', $credentials = null) {

        $user = array();
        if ($type != 'guest'){

            $userModel = $this->__getUserModel();

            $args = func_get_args();
            if (!method_exists($userModel, 'authsomeLogin')) {
                throw new Exception(
                $userModel->alias.'::authsomeLogin() is not implemented! in model '
                );
            }

            if (!is_string($type) && is_null($credentials)) {
                $credentials = $type;
                $type = 'credentials';
            }

            $user = $userModel->authsomeLogin($type, $credentials);
        }
        Configure::write($this->settings['configureKey'], $user);
        $this->Session->write($this->settings['sessionKey'], $user);
        return $user;
    }
