REST Store sends "ghost" record.

I'm struggling with a REST-proxie on a TreeStore.

If I don't add a root: {} config in the store, the proxy will always send a empty "ghost"-record on first sync(). It contains all model parameters but they are empty.

If I include a copy of my real (backend) root record in the stores root-config it won't send the ghost record, but on first load() the store loads twice for some reason.

Can someone please shed some light over this, I can't be the first one with this problem, although Google makes it look so...

My Store:

Code:

Ext.define('Archive.store.Directory', {    extend: 'Ext.data.TreeStore',


    requires: [
        'Archive.model.Directory'
    ],


    constructor: function(cfg) {
        var me = this;
        cfg = cfg || {};
        me.callParent([Ext.apply({
            storeId: 'Directory',
            autoLoad: false,
            model: 'Archive.model.Directory',
            root: {
                id: 0,
                name: '/',
                games: 0,
                expanded: true
            }
        }, cfg)]);
    }
});

My Model:

Code:

Ext.define('Archive.model.Directory', {    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',


    requires: [
        'Ext.data.field.Integer',
        'Ext.data.field.String',
        'Ext.data.field.Boolean',
        'Ext.data.proxy.Rest',
        'Ext.data.reader.Json',
        'Ext.data.writer.Json'
    ],


    fields: [
        {
            type: 'int',
            name: 'id'
        },
        {
            type: 'int',
            name: 'idParent'
        },
        {
            type: 'string',
            name: 'name'
        },
        {
            type: 'string',
            name: 'description'
        },
        {
            type: 'int',
            name: 'games'
        },
        {
            type: 'boolean',
            name: 'leaf'
        }
    ],


    hasMany: {
        model: 'Archive.model.Directory',
        name: 'children'
    },


    proxy: {
        type: 'rest',
        extraParams: {
            otype: 'user',
            oid: 1
        },
        url: '/api/v1/archive/directory.php',
        appendId: false,
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            rootProperty: 'data'
        },
        writer: {
            type: 'json'
        }
    }
});
