Asp.net MVC Model Binding and jQuery DataTables plugin

I'm using Asp.net MVC model binding to postback a list of tasks in a table that gets updated if the checkbox is checked. It works fine on the first page but not on the second page. On the second page the postback has an empty list of ids even though they display on the page. After researching the DataTables website, this is a common issue for events attached to the table and they suggest attaching the events to the table elements before calling the dataTable() method.

I'm not attaching any events to the table, I'm just using the built in Model binding to pass the data back to the controller.

Can anyone tell me how to get this to work?

                    @for (int i = 0; i < Model.cvsTaskList.Count; i++)
                    {
                        EnterpriseCustomerService.Domain.Infrastructure.cvsTaskModel x = Model.FcvsTaskList[i];

                        <tr>

                            <td align="center">@Html.CheckBoxFor(z => z.cvsTaskList[i].changeAssignedUserID, new { @class = "cb-element" })</td>
                            <td>@x.CVSID </td>
                            <td>@x.TaskID</td>@Html.Hidden("cvsTaskList[" + i + "].TaskID", x.TaskID)
                            <td>@x.ShortDescription</td>
