I know this problem when objects are created in "manage_afterAdd".

  Object creation in "manage_afterAdd" succeeds when the object
  is created. However, it fails for "copy/import" and potentially
  for "move" as the object was already created by the "copy".
  "manage_afterAdd" can not create the object as it is already there.


Looking at the traceback should give you enough information
to verify whether this is your problem. In the future,
please include the traceback (in addition to the "Error Type",
"Error Value").
