Thanks Roche' The solution was two-fold: (1) your suggestion for use of getpath (2) apparently uncatalog_object can't indirectly access a variable stored within REQUEST eg. uncatalog_object(uid) does not work, but uncatalog_object(REQUEST['uid']) does work Thanks again!

So, how do you remove a 'non-catalog aware' object from a zcatalog? (this is the first time I have used non-catalog aware instances, in previous projects I used catalog-aware objects and just deleted the object in the folder and the object was automatically removed from the zcatalog).
Thanks for any ideas!
Jonathan
It doesn't have to be catalog aware. You should call uncatalog_object with the path of the object not the rid. If you don't know it call Catalog.getpath(rid).
