I'll further emphasize Lucas Holt's point, and point out that you
*REALLY* *never* ever should include query parameters as part of a
form's action, it's a very common mistake, but it's bound to cause
your pages to break on browsers that support standards more strictly.
Instead of having ?rm-login at the end, try to do add this inside your form:
<input type="hidden" name="rm-login" value="" />
i'm hoping this will fix your issue. Keeping the enctype as it is
should be fine.
good luck :)
