If REMOTE_USER isn't showing up, then it is because you don't have authentication required for that request. The fact that it is a CGI executed from a form created by another CGI has nothing to do with it. Either your .htaccess file isn't working at all (eg. because you have AllowOverride none or something similar set for your cgi-bin directory) or you have some "Limit GET" in there which, as it says, only limits GET requests.
