Kevin,

I _think_ the problem is that the copy/paste machinery
really needs to be called with a REQUEST so that it can
verify whether the copy is allowed. Try this and let me
know if you still have problems:

 def candp(fobj, tobj, REQUEST):
   "Copy and paste"
 
   ids = fobj.objectIds()
   if not ids:
     return
   cdata = fobj.manage_copyObjects(ids)
   tobj.manage_pasteObjects(cdata, REQUEST)
