I believe the method you are calling is looking for a string, not another DTML Document/Method object. If it is the case that you want to clone an existing object, just use the clone call.

<dtml-with "manage_clone(content_template, newid, REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(title=newtitle)"> </dtml-with>
