It appears that my problem was simply a permissions problem. I did not have the var folder and contents owned by "nobody". Silly me. Hope my forehead heals and I can get all the blood off of the brick wall. : )

This does not appear to be a very formidable Zope application. Does anyone have any suggestions for making the upgrade to the current version of Zope? Does one export/import the database? Since this is a Zope 1.10 application all of the DTML tags will have to change. Any other gotcha's or words of wisdom?

A more non non sense solution would be to use zope as a frontend to an sql database imho (at least if your data is tabular) You could create a python script that would extract all the datas from zope and insert it into an sql db. This doesn't require a tremendous amount of zope knowledge btw :-) (some dtml, some sql, some python : a good way to begin your zope journey...) Philippe
