I struggled with this too, and it turned out that I tried to gain 
write-access on the online-project which always fails. Switch to the 
appropriate offline-project using the CmsRequestContext (I think, 
haven't got the API-docs with me). When you have performed write you 
switch to back to the online-project again within the very same 
template. Hope this helps.
