Or integrate the ./utilities/load_site.py script.
Quite a lot has been done to that script lately and I don't remember where 
the latest script is. 
Searching the mailinglist you'll find that a man called "Jerome" has created 
on that has enhancements you might need.
It can take a whole folder and upload into a Zope folder.

host zope]$ python utilities/load_site.py -u username:password 
http://host/doc/photos ~/photos/newphotos

The enhancement you'll need is support for overwriting. If you want it to 
overwrite or to leave existing object ids without error.
