What object type do you see in the directory listing
(I am not sure, that you can see the type there)?
Your files might be mapped to a somewhat broken object.

If this does not reveal easily the cause of your problem,
I would start debugging.

On

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>

you find a small module ("Interactive debugging support")
that lets you build the publishing environment in
an interactive interpreter. Build a request and
traverse to your object. Hopefully, you will get the same
error which you can now analyse with the "pm" (post mortem)
function of "pdb" (the Python debugger).
