"manage_pasteObjects" (more precisely, "_verifyObjectPaste"
performs its own security check, even if called in an
unrestricted environment.

  As in your context, there is not user, the check fails.

I see two options:

  *  modify Zope's code (e.g. by adding a new "manage_pasteObjects_woCheck"
     without this check)

  *  create a request object with authentication information,
     perform a "traverse" on this object (this will set the 
     user) and then call "manage_pasteObjects" on the traverse to
     object.
