Can you access the property?

If you have named propertysheets the manage_changeProperties won't work:
then you'll have to point your method explicitly to the propertysheet.

Yep, though not always (confusing eh?). Try executing it as the superuser,
that way you'll always have the permission, unless you didn't set them in
the class (assuming it's a ZClass, but in python products it's probably not
much different)

Then it would become something like (untested):
<dtml-call
"_.getitem('z958063364').propertysheets.<propertysheetname>.manage_changePro
perties({'children'
: 90})">
