that looks ok then.

right, I misunderstood what objectList consisted of.
So what's the PATH of the first element?

It looks like it should do what you want.
grep reveals it to be in CMFCore/PortalFolder.py
around line 341 (as of cmf 1.4.2).

This is really puzzling, if manage_addFolder works then
I don't see why invokeFactory wouldn't either.
