Sounds like your zclass is trying to *be* the image and it wants a file
upload as soon as you create it. It's probably trying to upload a file 
from your hard drive with the ID you give. Either that, or it's calling
manage_addImage() with an incorrect argument. 

Either fix that problem, or Instead use Folder as your base class. 
That way, your WebArticle is not an image; it contains an image.  
Then, on one of your forms, you can just copy the ZMI page for adding an 
Image, and have it put the image inside your new WebArticle (Folder).
The body text could then be e.g. a DTML Method inside the folder.
