@note is special in that it implicitly uses 'messages' and the 'msg'
class.

See the customization docs at
http://roundup.sourceforge.net/docs/customizing.html#web-interface
and search for @note.

You may want to try:
comment-1@content=value
And in a hidden input field:
@link@comment=comment-1

This explicitly uses your new class names.
In addition the docs say:
"If both the “@note” and “@file” form variables are specified, the
action:
@link@msg-1@files=file-1
is also performed."

This would translate to
@link@comment-1@files=file-1
for your schema. Which should also be put into a hidden input field.
Note that all the @link stuff is only performed if the new item
(e.g. msg-1 or file-1) is non-empty.

This depends on if you need both, the msg class *and* the new comment
class. If you don't need msg (and the default nosy behaviour that goes
with it) you're probably better off modifying the nosy auditor/reactors
to do what you need.
