Default skin directories are never included, they are 'Filesystem 
Directory Views'.

On your local system, have a look at 'Properties' of zpt_generic. If 
your local system is windows, your 'Filesystem path' is 
'Products\CMFDefault\skins\zpt_generic'.

I reported this to already to the Tracker: 
http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/Tracker/466/1

Meanwhile I found this:
http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/CMFCore/DirectoryView.py

Revision 1.14 note says:
"Enable use of Data.fs from unix on windows: when normalizing paths, do
more to normalize for the platform.  (We'll need to add a bit more to
work in the other direction.)"

Workaround:
Start with the site on unix or change 'Filesystem path' on your windows 
system to 'Products/CMFDefault/skins/zpt_generic'
