When I create portal objects programatically, I first find the folder
where I want to put the object (mostly in the logged in members portal
folder). Then I call the invokeFactory method on this folder like this:
<dtml-let
user="portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getUserName()"
          mem_folder="portal_membership.getHomeFolder(user)">
 <dtml-call "mem_folder.invokeFactory(id='someid',
type_name='Document')">
</dtml-let>

Hope this little code snippet can help you ....
