We also had these kind of problems getting a login page to work in jmeter. Eventually we got it to work. Important to note is:

• Use firebug or any other capture tool to capture the Post of your login page, and make sure to add all the controls that post values. If you forget one parameter then your page will give an error. Also the empty ___VIEWSTATE parameter was required for us. See screenshot for our Post request
• For some pages we also had to add the parameter __VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED with an empty value
