Suggestion.
 it sounds like the property date is meant to be a string conforming to
the syntax that a Date Time Object can take and Zope does the conversion
when the property is used. the code above tries to place an actual date
time object in the propertysheet which wants a string which it can
covert. try

<dtml-let x="ZopeTime().strftime('InsertYourFormat')">
<dtml-call REQUEST.set('date1', x)
<dtml-call "propertysheets.prop.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">
<dtml-let>

I hope that helps.

Cheers
