That sounds like a working Product to me. Did it have items there
before the move? What is actually not working, do you get tracebacks?

A python product that lives in a Products subdirectory, will in Zope
only display as shown above, unless there was an error setting up the
product, then a a tracback tab with the error will be there.

If however, your Navigator product was a through-the-web variant (open
box icon in you old install), like a ZClass based setup, then
something is wrong.

If you get error messages, or tracebacks, or other strange behaviour,
please include these.
