you're confusing the member object with the user object.  it's an unfortunate 
fact that, for historical reasons, each authenticated user has two different 
types of objects associated with him, a 'member' object which contains general 
member data and a 'user' object that interacts with the Zope security stuff.

change your "user = mem" line to "user = mem.getUser()" and you'll probably 
have more luck.
