Ok, assuming that the 'normal' instantiation is either
solved or a non-issue, do I need to do anything special to
get the newItem() method to call my products manage_add
method?

The manage_add method takes an id, an optional title, and an
uploaded file.

When I try passing these to newItem(), it complains that
it's getting "too many arguments, expected 2 got 4", but
when I only pass the id, it complains that "not enough
arguments; expected 4, got 2"

As far as I can determine, the fourth/second argument that
it gets in each case is 'self'.

So what do I do next?
