Steve,
Thats a weird one ...  but cookie crumbler is great to get  custom login 
forms
Did you try deleting it and adding another (cookie_authentication 
object)**  Maybe you added a property thats non-existent? (login page id 
or something?)

you can produce a fuller error traceback

If necessary add
  <dtml-var error_tb>
to your standard_error_message (if using dtml) for a clearer error 
expression
