NSMutableDictionary initialization problems

I have a subclass of NSDocumentController. In this subclass, I maintain
a mutable array. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to initialize it.

I tried the following methods in -init:
_myArray = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
-> _myArray is an NSCFString
_myArray = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[NSDictionary
dictionary]];
-> _myArray is a CFDictionary
_myArray = [[NSDictionary dictionary] mutableCopy];
-> _myArray is a CFDictionary

I tried initializing _myArray just before I use it:
if (!_myArray)
   _myArray = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[_myArray addObject:someObject];

but that doesn't work... _myArray is a CFDictionary

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jacob
