everytime i try and add a new object. could somebody enlighten me as to what all this means and how i can figure out to to diagnose problems within zope ?

etcUserFolder is an older piece of unsupported software that may have compatability problems with newer versions of Zope. I don't know if anyone out there maintains it actively. Without similar reports I would tend to believe that this is because etcUserFolder has not be changed to reflect recent changes in the API. -Michel
