As usually happens after three hours of searching the web, finally breaking down and asking the question, I ran across the answer and was able to find a solution. So for anyone else out there that runs into this problem, this won't work:
<input type="hidden" name="formToken" value="${Session.formToken}" /> but this will: <input type="hidden" name="formToken" value="<@s.property value='%{#session.formToken}'/>" /> Thanks.
