Karma means (unfortunately) something more than that to buddhists. The view you described is something smart people came up with to make it acceptable for themselves. Original buddhist karma is ultimate balance of good and evil in the universe.
Yes, I am aware of that. Karma is still a useful concept, though. Despite its baggage it is still something good to have in your ontology - at least IMHO.
