I don't see your SetExpressCheckout request here..??

You need to make sure the SEC request includes the billing agreement parameters that enable it for recurring payments. Since you're using my library, look in the SetExpressCheckout.php template for the following:

$BillingAgreements = array();
$Item = array(
              'l_billingtype' => '',                            // Required.  Type of billing agreement.  For recurring payments it must be RecurringPayments.  You can specify up to ten billing agreements.  For reference transactions, this field must be either:  MerchantInitiatedBilling, or MerchantInitiatedBillingSingleSource
              'l_billingagreementdescription' => '',            // Required for recurring payments.  Description of goods or services associated with the billing agreement.  
              'l_paymenttype' => '',                            // Specifies the type of PayPal payment you require for the billing agreement.  Any or IntantOnly
              'l_billingagreementcustom' => ''                  // Custom annotation field for your own use.  256 char max.
              );

array_push($BillingAgreements, $Item);

You just need to use the value "RecurringPayments" for the billing type, and then create a description as well. The description will need to match exactly with the description you send in CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile at the end. Of course, you'll need to make sure you add $BillingAgreements to the $PayPalRequestData so that it is passed accordingly.

Once you've added the billing agreement params to the SEC request the token will be valid for CRPP.
