[Zope] comparing variables ??

i try to compare two variables to check if they are equal, like this :

   <dtml-if expr="PARENTS[0].id == AUTHENTICATED_USER">
   <h2>YES !!</h2>
   <dtml-else>
    <h2>NO</h2>
   </dtml-if>

but it seems to me this is never true.
It always reports NO , even though the variables look equal to me when
referenced with :
<dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER">
<dtml-var "PARENTS[0].id">
-they both report the same string..

i am thoroughly puzzled..

i think it might have something to do with AUTHENTICATED_USER not being
a string, but appending ':string' just produces errors.. (i guess that
isnt allowed inside expressions??)

any ideas what i'm doing wrong ?
