The form profile code is called from within the "process" action and
has not been coded into your custom action.  The 'Sorry...' message will
appear when you try to call a *page* called myaction rather than an
actual action.  Try one of these:

1) Copy the form profile code from the do_process sub, in the
   bin/interchange script, into your custom action.

2) Create the action as a FormAction, set the <form> action to
   "[process-target]" and set mv_todo=action_name from within an
   mv_click callback.  The process action will be called and the
   form profile will be checked.  If this passes, the mv_click
   will be called, followed by the FormAction specified in the
   mv_todo.

That probably makes some sort of sense :-)
