Since you did not share with us the code you used, I'm not sure what your
problem is, but may be it is the same that I experienced a while ago:

 <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['Productname']">
   call your class_add method here
 </dtml-with>

'Productname' should be the name of your product as it appears in the
'Products' folder and not the matatype of your class
