Similar to what you want to do can be done with our FTP support and WebDAV 
support.  With Emacs and FTP, you can move files around transparently, 
with ncftp you can also recursively FTP files into a server, and with
MSIE5.0 you can drag and drop files from your windows machine into
Zope using Web Folders.

Also I believe kfm can do remote file managment with HTTP.

The object database is not a filesystem, although I suppose it *could* 
be made to look like one to a filesystem transport protocol, like NFS
or SMB, with vast amounts of effort.
