Ruby Mechanize treats frames like links.  You'll need to "click" the
iframe before you can manipulate html loaded in the iframe.  Try
something like the following:

  iframe_page = agent.click page.iframes.first
  iframe_page.forms.each do |form|
    p form
  end

Also see the RDoc for WWW::Mechanize::Frame.  Hope that helps.
