You get this error message, when Zope cannot find its
"CLIENT_HOME" directory.

You can set this directory via the "CLIENT_HOME" environment
variable. It defaults to "$INSTANCE_HOME/var".
Again "INSTANCE_HOME" can be defined via the "INSTANCE_HOME"
environment variable. Otherwise, it defaults to were "z2.py" is
executed (I believe, it may also default to the current working directory).

I agree that you should get a better error message in this case.
Please feel free to file a bug report to the collector
