I think you need to add
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_todo" VALUE="set">

You could also use the userdb new_account function. Call it into action
via mv_click=NewAccount. That way you will get some checks like password
eq verify. Use a mv_form_profile to check your required fields. I think
you might have to do a userdb save after creating the new account but I
am not sure.

I just did this so I will post the page if you want it.
