I can't connect to the server, it seems:

INSTANCE_HOME=/usr/local/dc/org python
...
>>> import Zope
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/dc/Zope2/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 118, in ?

This means changing AccessControl/User.py, or implementing an External

I saw this as well. I believe that __getattr__ isn't implemented on
BTreeFolder? app.Members.mj didn't work.
