You probably started it with 'runzope', which doesnt run the
daemon. You should use 'zopectl start'.

I noticed that as well, and I had to modify runzope/zopectl to 'export
INSTANCE_HOME' to make it work. Also, enabling debug mode on zope.conf
doesnt seem to be working, and as there is an instance home setting on
zope.conf, I guess there is some major problem with the scripts right
now that are preventing it from getting the sets from the
configuration file. Other settings like enabling webdav and disabling
ftp work just fine.
