[Zope] Copying objects in ZODB programmatically

[Noel Duffy]

I am trying to make a copy of an object in my ZODB using
manage_copyObjects and manage_pasteObjects. I have code
like this:

    import Zope
    app=Zope.app()
    x=app.manage_copyObjects([app['getad'].id])
    app.manage_pasteObjects(x)

This raises an exception, like so:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "test.py", line 9, in ?
    app.manage_pasteObjects(x)
  File "lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py", line 203, in manage_pasteObjects
    self._verifyObjectPaste(ob)
  File "lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py", line 393, in _verifyObjectPaste
    if getSecurityManager().validate(None, parent, None, meth):
  File "/MC2\lib\python\AccessControl\SecurityManager.py", line 139, in validate

    self._context)
  File "/MC2\lib\python\AccessControl\ZopeSecurityPolicy.py", line 211, in valid
ate
    raise 'Unauthorized', (
Unauthorized: You are not authorized to access <em>methodAdd</em>.

However, I cannot see how to have my script authenticate itself to
the ZODB so I can do the copy/paste. Can anyone tell me what I need
to do here? Do I need to use 
Zope.AccessControl.SecurityManagement.newSecurityManager somehow?

I'm using Zope 2.2.4, which for reasons too long to go into here I
cannot change.

Thanks in advance,

Noel.
