  • hate this error. had one like that about expected range, turned out to be a column added programatically with AddFieldAsXml that then had duplicate fields. possibly not your case, but thought I would mention. maybe check ULS for more details

According to this Question: Custom Content Type always results in ArgumentException

The function SPUtility.CreateParentFoldersForFile verfifies that the new item based on a publishing content type is stored in the Pages library. If not you get the error above.

Key takeaway: Publishing Content types only in the Publishing Library, aka. Pages.
