LocalFS does not make use of the standard ZODB manage methods. It has its 
own methods to do everything. I once discussed that with Jonothan
  (the coder of Local FS) and he thinks (if I understood him correctly) 
that for some reasons it is inappropriate to make use of these methods, 
since the objects contained in LocalFS really do not exist in the ZODB nor 
have a similar state.

BTW, I just checked his product site at 
http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/Products/LocalFS and if you click on 
"Release Information" and then on FAQ, you will see his answer, why he is 
not using the manage methods.

I browsed pretty fast through his code, but could not find a method like 
you are looking for. We had the same problem once and used External Methods 
to it. But contact Jonothan as well, so he knows what to implement next, or 
maybe he has already something like this in the works. If you know Python, 
you can just write a little method for LocalFS yourself. His code is pretty 
easy to read (like all Python code) and it should be just a couple of 
lines. You should be able to copy a lot from manage_upload.

Stephan
