What are you trying to do in the parts directory?

The reason Grok can get to the Data.fs is not because it knows about the 
parts structure, but because it's configured this way in its zope.conf, 
for instance here:

<zodb>
   <filestorage>
     path /home/faassen/buildout/test3/parts/data/Data.fs
   </filestorage>
</zodb>

zope.conf itself is stored under parts/zopectl, but you shouldn't be 
editing it directly. zope.conf is known as the buildout recipe generates 
  a script that knows about it, namely bin/zopectl, which has code like 
this:

     zc.zope3recipes.ctl.main([
         '/home/faassen/buildout/test3/parts/app/debugzope',
         '/home/faassen/buildout/test3/parts/zopectl/zope.conf',
         '-C', '/home/faassen/buildout/test3/parts/zopectl/zdaemon.conf',
         ]+sys.argv[1:]
         )

Anyway, if we know what you're trying to accomplish we can perhaps come 
up with a good way to do it.
