Hmm, is this a newly-created CMFSite?  Or is this one which was built
under CMF 1.0?  If the latter, then you likely need to add the metadata
tool, using the "CMFDefault Tool" option on the "Add" list of the CMFSite
root (in the Zope management interface).

If you don't already have a 'portal_metadata' tool, please go ahead and
add one.  If you *do* have one, and still show this bug, please let us
know.
