How exactly have you registered this type?  The factory for your ZClass
product has to be called in the context of the product's dispatcher, e.g.:

   product = context.manage_addProduct[ 'ManagedCMFMeedingProduct' ]
   product.ManagedCMFMeeting_add( context, context.REQUEST )

Also, the fix to allow DTMLMethods as the "Factory Method" of
FactoryTypeInformation objects was added after CMF 1.0, so you will
need either to upgrade, or to add a PythonScript which takes only the
'id' parameter and then calls the DTMLMethod.
