If you are setting the mv_order_route on the checkout page then
make sure you don't have "FormIgnore mv_order_route" in your
catalog.cfg file.  If you do then your value will be ignored.

I would have chosen a simpler approach, as follows:

    1) Keep the routes as standard.

    2) The etc/mail_receipt could be modified to not send an email
       if the order is to be faxed.  I would send the email anyway,
       perhaps with slightly modified text, using [if value fax_order]
       or something.

    3) Modify the etc/receipt.html to show different text depending
       upon the payment method, or come up with a scheme to [include]
       a different file for each payment method.

...but that's just me.

Check your FormIgnore directives, as that could be what's stopping
your method from working.
