Just for thoroughness (or something) try this to eliminate something:

<!-- PRE: charge result is <dtml-var
"orderobject.chargeCard(REQUEST,Holmes.CyberCash,Rec)"> -->
<dtml-call
"REQUEST.set('verrormessage',orderobject.chargeCard(REQUEST,Holmes.CyberCash,Rec))">
<!-- POST: charge result is &dtml-verrormessage;-->


This should determine whether what you want to set is working first.
If PRE and POSt are the same, the problem s defintiely in your method
call.  

dtml-call REQUEST.set is working fine on 2.2.4 from here.
