There's nothing that immediately comes to mind.
Could you add the following lines after your call to process(), and
send us the output?

    use Data::Dumper;
    warn Dumper( $c->request->params );
    warn Dumper( $form );

Also, are you using code from svn or from a cpan release?
Let me know which revision / version for both HTML-FormFu and
Catalyst-Controller-HTML-FormFu.

That should be enough to figure this out.
Cheers,
Carl
