So you POST to login and you POST to submit the new info?

You "click on"? What does that mean? Your code performs a third POST there.
I don't think you're doing any programming error here. However, the server
somehow decides to not give you the page back that you want, for a reason
that we cannot possibly know. It might be User-Agent related, it might be
Referer related or it could be that you don't execute embedded javascript
that one of those pages returned to you.
I'd advice you to record a manual session, when you do this manually using a
browser, with a network analyzer tool like ethereal, tcpdump or similar.
Then you carefully work on replaying the same operations using curl.
You need patience, time and lots of testing.
Good luck!
