Thanks to Steve Spicklemire I solved this puzzle, it's amazingly
simple an incredible annoying:  If the file being uploaded (a DTML
document) is syntactically incorrect it can not be stored.

The (rather simple) ZOPE error message reminds me of an early
BASIC interpreter that ran on Atari TOS around ten years ago:  If
there was a syntax error somewhere in your program it just output
"something is wrong".  What exactly went wrong "das wissen die
Goetter - und die schweigen".

Thanks for your help and best regards,
Marc
