Evan:

I completely removed and reinstalled/compiled Zope as a "normal" user.
Installed/compiled ParsedXML
Installed TAL and PageTemplates
Fired up Zope (using my "normal" account) running on port 8080
**Everything worked fine**

I then changed the port Zope was running on to port 81
chown -R nobody var
chgrp -R nobody var
Fired up Zope (using "root")
**PageTemplates _did not_ work.

Then, went to <zope>/lib/python/Products
chown -R nobody PageTemplates
chgrp -R nobody PageTemplates
Restarted Zope
**Everything worked fine**

If you want, I could try narrowing down the exact PageTemplate file(s) which
needs "nobody" as the group/owner.

Hope this helps.

Andrew
