I did...

the problem starts in the constructor:

    # for making DataBlobs
    def __init__(self, id): 
        self.id = id

the print statements look like:
print "settitem ",name,value

the output:
settattr  id test
settitem  id test

..then the exception.

So there's no one-calling-the-other going on :S

Any ideas?

PS: I Just noticed DataBlob inherits from OFS.SimpleItem.Item and well
as PersistentMapping, could this be bad?
It also inherits from AccessControl.Role.RoleManager, but I would have
though that'd affect it too much?
