I _think_ if you look at the URL you'll see that when you click on
the propertysheet tab, you'll see you're in 
objectname/propertysheets/foobar/manage_...
so you're only seeing the propertysheet's manage tabs. The easiest way
to fix this is to make your own manage_sheet method of the ZClass, 
something like (this is typed in directly from memory - but it should
be close enough):


<dtml-if dochange>
   <dtml-call "propertysheets.foobar.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">
   <p>Changes made.</p>
</dtml-else>
  <form method="POST">
   monkeys: <input type="text" value="&dtml-monkeys;"><br>
  <input type="submit" name="dochange" value="Change Monkeys">
  </form>
</dtml-if>
