This is the traceback I am getting when I try to pack the db

Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 115, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 41, in call_object Module App.ApplicationManager, line 426, in manage_pack Module ZODB.DB, line 605, in pack Module ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorage, line 1348, in pack Module ZODB.FileStorage.fspack, line 482, in pack Module ZODB.FileStorage.fspack, line 228, in findReachable Module ZODB.FileStorage.fspack, line 304, in findReachableAtPacktime Module ZODB.FileStorage.fspack, line 377, in findrefs Module ZODB.serialize, line 625, in referencesf UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '^\'

For some reason the object that was damage was inside a ZCatalog. Darned if I know why that key would refer to something in a ZCatalog. How I found it was I just tried to export one folder after another and worked my way down until I found that object as the one that would not export. Once I had it found I deleted it and just created another one and it works now. So if anyone else runs into this problem and can't find the object if you do an export it will throw an error if it has the bad object in it so you can just export containing folders until you get the problem and then go down until you find the appropriate object.
