You're not talking about the ZClass objects themselves, are
you? The actual ZClass objects can't be copied/moved (for
a number of reasons that get pretty hairy).

You *should* be able to copy/move *instances* of your
ZClasses though - if not, can you send a copy of the actual
traceback you are getting so we can look into it further?
