Your path(...) is not a valid TAL-path-expression. You should do 
something like:

<p tal:replace="structure
python: here.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate(id,
title='testing', text=None, REQUEST=None)" />

All in all your approach seems very strange to me!

I wouldn't mix business logic into a PageTemplate... This is hard to 
maintain and read. Factor it out into a python-script and you will be 
happier... especially in 4 month or so...;)
