This is probably not what you want. &final=yes indicates you want to
submit an order.

I would suggest removing the &fatal / &final and using
mv_form_profile=website_profile instead of mv_order_profile.

Did you check the catalog error log? I am guessing you probably are
getting an error due to not doing [set mv_data_enable]1[/set].
