Just to let the list know (and people that have run into similar problems): After a long fight to get MySQL and Zope to talk to one another we got it going!!! This little bit of information:

ZMySQLDA-1.1.3 is not compatible with MySQL-python-0.3.5. Instead, try ZMySQLDA-2.0.7 with MySQL-python-0.9.0. http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

along with installing Distutils (and other various requirements mentioned in the documentation) on a non Zope Python 1.5.2 Version and copying the needed folders and files mentioned in the error messages from standard python install to Zope python install did the trick (as well as various nitty gritty configuration settings because of our "non standard" system and system setup). I am sorry it is not more detailed, but we were about to give up and as a last resort started trying some crazy things (without documenting it): and like magic... it started to work (and has been running ever since).
