I made these changes, and modified my DTML to be:
<dtml-call "candp(fobj, this(), REQUEST)">

I'm getting the same error (one or more items not found). Here's the end of
the traceback...

  File C:\Program Files\Byproducts\lib\python\DocumentTemplate\DT_Util.py,
line 315, in eval
    (Object: candp(fobj, this(), REQUEST))
  File &lt;string&gt;, line 0, in ?

  File C:\Program Files\Byproducts\lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py, line 198,
in manage_pasteObjects
    (Object: CatalogAware)
Copy Error: (see above)

Anything else to try?
