Why not forms.FileField here?

Instead of this copy/update I think you should be doing:
form = SubmissionForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
as per the doc here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/#binding-uploaded-files-to-a-form
I note this is marked as "new in development version", as is FileField, so
perhaps you are running 0.96 and trying to get file upload working?
Personally I'd recommend using an SVN checkout instead, especially if you
are running into wanting to do things that have been added since 0.96.
