You just need to change the mounted object into the kind of object you
need.  One way to do this is to mount the SQL /Plone folder in a different
location temporarily, visit the alternate location, and replace the Data
folder with a PloneFolder.  In your dbtab.conf you should have a line like
this:

mount_paths=/Plone/Data

Change it temporarily to this:

mount_paths=/Plone/Data; /PloneTemp:/Plone

Then visit /PloneTemp, remove the Data folder, and create a PloneFolder in 
its place.

It may work immediately, but to be sure everything is in good shape, you
should then delete the mounted /Plone/Data and mount it again.
