Because 'invokeFactory' is an instance method of PortalFolder
objects, it doesn't get acquired with quite the same binding
semantics as it would if it were a PythonScript;  in particular,
its 'self' is going to be the PortalFolder, and not the nested
Folder.

In general, I avoid using "stock" Zope folders in the "content
space" of a CMF site (they are fine inside "software space", e.g.
within the skins tool).
