Hmm. ZClass products aren't automagically imported; when exported, turn into
zexp files, either on the client machine somewhere or in the server's
$ZOPE_HOME/var directory.  To install them on another server, on must:

  * copy the *.zexp file into the new server's $ZOPE_HOME/import directory

  * import the *.zexp file into the "Control Panel | Products" folder.

You don't have to restart the new server, either, unlike "normal" Python
products.

Unless somebody borrowed Guido's time machine and retrofitted Butch Landigan's
ZPack proposal, that is?
