Should be <dtml-var "methods.userid">.
When you are not using a single name,
you must treat it as an expression and put it in 
quotation.

Zope's acquisition can acquire objects in parent folders,
but not in sub folders, so you cannot simply use ``userid''
to access your method in a sub folder from you root
directory.
