I think this is because the automatic cataloging doesn't work correctly.

you have to add some lines in the constructor file of your class:

<dtml-with "NewsItem.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"> ( 
this line should already be there )

   <dtml-call "propertysheets.Input.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)">
   <dtml-call unindex_object>
   <dtml-call "manage_editCataloger('inputFilesCatalog', REQUEST)">
   <dtml-call index_object>

'NewsItem' is the name of your class.
'Input' is the name of the property sheet that should be cataloged.
'inputFilesCatalog' is the name of the catalog that should be used.
