quick fix: turn off backup files for EFS. (setq efs-make-backup-files nil) in you .emacs file should do the trick.

long answer: whenever you save a fgile in an emacs session, emacs renames the original file to filename.~<version>~ and creates the file <filename>. Since Zope assumes that a newly created file is a DTML document, all your files will be transformed into DTML Documents.

Since there is no use for emacs version control in Zope (undo is part of zope) and i only use EFS editing for Zope file this quick fix is okay for me. The only correct thing to do is to make efs-make-backup-files not only OS dependet, but also considere regexp'ing the FTP server name.
