Jason,

thanks for the reply.

You're right, zope cannot access manage_options, but it doesn't seem to be
able to access *anything* called using <dtml-var foo>.  I think the problem
is that I'm not calling the template correctly as HTMLFile instances that
are attached to the main class (i.e. not the plugin) are rendered perfectly.

cheers
