Okay, I rebuilt the database from scratch, which was not a big deal since
this is running on a test Zope instance.

I imported the DemoPortal and began to create a portal in my top-level
folder. On step 3 of the wizard, after clicking "Finish," I get the
following error:

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: not enough arguments; expected 6, got 3

I'm getting closer, a little at a time. :-)
