I would not use a DTML method directly.

DCWorkflow calls its scripts with a single positional argument, a
StateChangeInformation object. The DTML object will interpret
is as "client", which probably is not the right thing.

I expect that your DTML object will not be able to access its
context, as StateChangeInfo objects are probably not acquisition
wrapped.

I would use a Python Script and call the DTML objects from this
script with appropriate parameters.
