I fear this is a difficult one.
Apparently, your "BTrees.OIBTree.OIBTree" contains something which is not unpicklable.
To find out what is the real problem, you should log the traceback in "ZODB/referencesf.py" near line 33 (at the start of the "except:").
Python 2.3 also comes with a pickle utility. It is useful to analyse pickles (and find out what might be wrong with them).
thanks dieter. appreciate very much your suggestions. i think i found the object(s) causing the problem, tried deleting them but of course they are still there and i can't pack them out. any consultants out there interested/available in assisting us with this one? <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ ICQ: 51907738 ~ Sales (USA): 1-866-967-3669
