Take this :string off the end for starters. An input type of "FILE"
causes a binary file to be uploaded. Zope handles this by turning it
into a FileUpload object. Trying to parse it as a string can't be
helping matters ;-)

You will only get the path from certain browsers, IE I think.

If you want the file name, it can be displayed with the following:
<dtml-var "REQUEST.form['filenaamXML'].filename">

If you need any more help, it might be useful if you explain what you're
trying to do overall :-)

HTH,
