Deleting a form response in dashboard gives a [Invalid Token] error

Permalink
When I try to delete form responses in the dashboard, I get an 'Invalid Token' error message. I have moved the site to a local mirror, and also get the same error.

What can i do to understand what's happening here? What Token is used and invalid?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Just a bit of background:

To prevent any malicious third party calling the url to delete your form responses (or worse), such dialogs in c5 are protected by an encrypted token. These tokens are generated on the page that shows the delete button, then sent back to the server when someone clicks 'delete'. c5 then checks the token is valid.

Similar processes are used throughout c5 to stop malicious third parties, or even innocent search engine crawlers, from doing nasty things or reading information they are not supposed to.

As to exactly what is happening in your case, I can't offer any new ideas.
