I've been fighting something like this from a Python Script today. I found that I had to 
put id into the REQUEST object. See r.set() call below:


r = context.REQUEST
username=r['username']
company=r['company']

if (not company) or (not username):
   raise ValueError('You must specify a company name and username')

homeFolder = context.portal_membership.getHomeFolder(id=username)
homeFolder.manage_changeProperties(title=company)


r.set('id','CompanyInfo')
homeFolder.invokeFactory(id='CompanyInfo',type_name='CompanyInformation')

co=getattr(homeFolder,'CompanyInfo')
co.propertysheets.InternalInfo.manage_changeProperties(CompanyName=company)
