Magnetostatics boundary conditions.

I am sometimes just not sure how to go about solving magnetics problems and applying the right boundary conditions. I was hoping for a little advice.

For example in an infinitely long cylinder (along z-axis) with radius a, and a permanent magnetization given by:
[tex]\vec{M} = M_{0}r^{2}\hat{\phi}[/tex]

If I first find the bound current distributions I get that the surface bound current is 0, and the volume bound current is:
[tex]\frac{3M_{0}r}{a^{2}}\hat{k}[/tex]

So I was doing it with legendre polynomials matching boundary conditions.. I thought it would be best to solve first for the magnetic field on the z-axis, so that could be another boundary condition.
However when I try to find it I end up with a magnetic field along the z-axis with a [itex]\hat{\phi}[/itex] dependence only...
This doesn't make sense to me, how could it have a tangential component when it is at the center?

Am I going about this all wrong?
Thanks
 
Ok so the curl of M is the J(bound), the bound current per area.
So the integral of J*DA would be your current , and then can't you use amperes law to find the B field. Or am I crazy.
