Steve,

The traceback I see suggests that you have fragments of several Zope
installs lying around on your system.  In particular, it contains frames
for methods in ZPublisher where the filename is inside your
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages' directory, while other stuff is in
'/usr/share/zope/lib/python...'.  Can you try removing all the
Zope-specific stuff from site-packages, and then run only from the main
Zope source tree?  If necessary, this may require installing the Zope
source and moving the Data.fs to its home.

Tres.
