I seem to be missing something.

I have a simple table:

db.define_table("str1", 
                Field('x1', 'string', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
                Field('dt', 'datetime'))

And a simple controller.

def example1():
    form = SQLFORM(db.str1)
    form.vars.dt = request.now
    form.vars.x1 = 'lasdfjl'
    form.process()
    print request.now
    print form.vars
    if form.accepted:
        message=form.vars.x1
        response.flash='good job, Dave'
    elif form.errors:
        message='you have errors, Dave'
    else:
        message="what did you do?"
    return dict(message=message, form=form)



When I get to the print statements, the console shows what I expect (the 
values I filled out the form with).  But the form as rendered does not show 
anything until I enter something, and if I submit without entering 
anything, the process() yields form.errors, with "enter a value" under x1, 
and the print statement shows dt and x1 as None and empty.

What am I not doing, such that setting form.vars.x1 and form.vars.dt 
doesn't get displayed in the form, and they aren't used as values if I 
don't enter anything?
