I see the same problem:

  * I just fetched the whole PTK module via 'cvs -d ... co ZopePTK'.

  * I linked PTKBase and PTKDemo into my Products tree via 'ln -s'
    and restarted -- both show up fine in the Control Panel.

  * I linked DemoPortal.zexp into the /import directory, and imported it;
    the Help class and the PortalWizard showed up borken.

  * I restarted Zope -- the PortalWizard class is now not broken.  I
    switched to the main tree and tried to create a Portal.  I filled out the
    three forms, hit the Finish button (why not the Swedish button?  or the
    Latt button? :) and got the same "expected 6, got 3" TypeError reported
    by Jim Cain.

Running Zope 2.1.3 on a RH5.2 Linux box.
