The Content Manager Guide still describes the world
before Zope 2.2.

For some reason (that I do not understand), DC descided
that, starting with Zope 2.2.0, the SuperUser is no
longer Super but instead rather limited. He cannot own objects
and therefore, he cannot create objects.

What you need to do:

  As SuperUser go to "acl_users".
  Create a new user with a role of "Manager".
  Close your browser (all windows!).
  Recontact Zope (in a fresh browser!) as your newly created
  Manager.
  Use this manager, whenever your guide speaks of "SuperUser".
