Either you copied the wrong button or your missing the right one.
Your button should look like this (or similar).

      [button
      name="mv_click"
      text="Place Order"
      hidetext=1
      form=checkout
      ]
      mv_todo=submit
      [/button]

I imagine you copied the wrong button because you say you can see the
order as "pending" in the admin screen.   Click on the word pending in
the admin screen and a screen will come up that lets you "ship checked
order lines and send email to customer if appropriate" button.  click
on that and the customer will receive an email message saying their
order has shipped.   You can modify a route to send you an email also
or you can just click on the order number in the pending order screen
and get the order information.

Read the interchange doc on "Tracking and backorder enter" in the
icdatabase section.
