[Zope-CMF] Can't export to a Zope CMF Red Hat 9 Server

[Troy Farrell]

Filesystem Directory Views are special zope objects that take a 
directory of files and create proxy objects to represent the items in 
the filesystem.  This allows us to distribute python scripts as files 
instead of .zexp zope imports.  These FDV's store the path to the 
directory as a string.  When you moved from W32 to Linux, you needed to 
change the path.  That's what the script does...

Someone correct me if I'm wronge (please :)
