I have no idea what goes wrong here, but an access file is easily made if 
you don't mind the password being in plaintext. Just Make a file with the 
following structure:

   username:password[:optional domain specifier]

where username is the superuser login name of your choice, password the 
plaintext password, and the domain specifier (which is optional) should be 
a space separated list of domains, where you can use both ip addresses and 
ip names, and you can use the * for a wildcard for a whole part (like 
*.antraciet.nl and 10.1.*.*). Then you at least have a valid access file.

Then again, you might have problems with other parts of Zope if your python 
build is somehow flawed.
