Assuming "location" is the id of the object, this will work:

<dtml-call
expr="_.getitem(location).manage_addDTMLDocument(id=pagename,title=pagetitle,file=page)">

_[location] actually calls the object, whereas _.getitem() doesn't, it
just returns the object itself.

Now, if location is a path like: '/folder1/folder2/folder3' then use
this something like:

<dtml-with expr="REQUEST.resolve_url(location)">
	<dtml-call
expr="manage_addDTMLDocument(id=pagename,title=pagetitle,file=page)">
</dtml-with>

You cannot however pass Python expressions like 'PARENTS[0].DIR1.DIR2'
as strings and evaluate them in DTML AFAIK. Try passing the URL instead
as above.
