I think the arg to uncatalog_object() needs to be a full path,
not just an id.

e.g. something like (untested)

<dtml-let catalog="_.getitem('lhCatalog')"
          path="'/'.join(_.getitem(REQUEST['hoursid']).getPhysicalPath())">
  <dtml-call "catalog.uncatalog_object(path)">

</dtml-let>

... assuming the objects in question are in the current folder.
