[Zope-CMF] Error Value: name 'portal_types' is not defined

Hi all,
 
In the ZMI of a plone site, I get the following error 
when accessing the 'Elements' tab of the
portal_metadata tool:

======
Error Type: NameError
Error Value: name 'portal_types' is not defined
======
 
I have read that this message occurs when you do not
access the portal tool from within a CMF site.  But 
isn't a plone site also a CMF site?  If this is 
incorrect, how does one go about accessing the CMF 
site or interface or whatever?

The error log produces the following and any help 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stan
