The "name=manage_cutObjects:method" tells Zope to call "manage_cutObjects".
When your document does not define this method explicitly, Zope's

Probably, that is the reason why you see Zope's management interface.

Something like: "cb_....".
I could look at the code to find out precisely. But you, too...
Or you tell your browser to inform you about "setCookie" requests
and see, what Zope tries to set...
