z2.pid is the file that contains the process ID of zope, so that the
stop script knows what to stop.

./start does not have write access to the directory var.

You are either:  
a. starting it as a user that cannot access zope/var:
b. starting it as root, and not giving nobody permission to write to
zope/var.
