Here is your problem, I believe.  The above input should be an mv_check, 
which will be called after the form variables are updated; NOT mv_click, 
which is called before the form variables are updated.  The way this is 
now, IC will try to create the account before the values of mv_username and 
mv_password are even read into the session, and in your case that might 
mean using old leftover values from the previous login.
