chown -R <zopeuser.zopeusergroup> .
This essentially means that for some reason, permissions are whacked up.
making sure the entire tree is owned by the zope user (and approriate
group) has solved it every time. That or do it all as root, then change
ownership to the zope user, I cannot recall exactly. I haven't had this
problem in a long time.
