Think about what is happening. :) You're storing a new token as the
first action when the resource is requested -- obviously, any later
comparision with the submitted token will fail. You may deploy another
variable to store the new token till the end of the script, and then
storing it in the session.

The basic algorithm you have used to prevent multiple form submission is
actually a CSRF protection (might be somewhat weak, though) -- if you
don't need it, you may consider implementing the PRG pattern[1], which
might be a better solution of the problem at hand.
