Dean,
By default, the <tiles:importAttribute> tag imports all of the Tiles
context attributes into the page context:<tiles:importAttribute/>
Any and all attributes stored in the current Tiles context would now
be available through the standard page context.
The situation with your jsp is that we gotto get the "action" from the
pageContext into your html:form tag. JSTL can help us in it provided you use
the html-el tags which will support expressions. So may be this can help
you.
<tiles:importAttribute />
<html-el:form method="post" action="${pageContext.action}">
Or at the worst with simple html:form tags:
<tiles:importAttribute />
<%String act = pageContext.getAttribute("action")%>
<%-- the code below will dump your action. Just to make sure .
Remove it later--%>
<%=out.println( pageContext.getAttribute("action") ) %>
<html:form method="post" action="<%=act%>">
The second one would surely work, but it may better using tags instead.
Hope this solves the problem.

Sorry, I am still learning struts and don't know what bean-el is. I am using
struts 1.1, is bean-el in there someplace?

Tried it and it failed. Did what you showed above and
also what you specified in tiles-defs.xml. Here's a bit of the
exception:
