The CMF is a set of related products, not a single product.  You need to
have each of them ('CMFCore', 'CMFDefault', 'CMFTopic', 'CMFCalendar')
installed in 'INSTANCE_HOME/Products' (or 'SOFTWARE_HOME/Products', but
I don't recommend that), rather than having the "container" folder
there.  The INSTALL.txt details this explicitly::

    2. Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into
       $INSTANCE_HOME/Products (or into
       $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products).  For instance::

        $ cd /var/zope/Products  # /var/zope is INSTANCE_HOME
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3.1/CMFCore .
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3.1/CMFDefault .
        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3.1/CMFTopic .

       or, as a shortcut::

        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.3.1/CMF* .
