If you start Zope as root, it bind to port 80 and
then switches identity to a user specified at installation
time (or through parameters during startup) or "nobody".

Apparently, the user Zope switches to, does not have
write access to the files you see in your problem report.

Specify a user for Zope that can access these files
or change the file permissions such that "nobody"
can access them.
