[Zope] The Z-Files

Ok ... I am a bit of an X-Files fan so here is one for their files.

I have been working with some ZClasses ( I know ... I have learned my lesson
... I am moving on to Python) for the past month or so and late the other
night I attempted to make some changes to a class (I have been making
numerous adjustments).  Up pops this authentication dialog and much to my
surprise, I was denied access.  In fact, I was unable to open any of the
classes I had made.  I made a superuser account (the Zope book says this
will allow me in to fix access settings) but was still denied access.  I
fiddled around (aimlessly) for a while longer exporting as an XML file so I
could see if there was anything amiss (that was not very instructive). I
exported the ZClasses, installed 2.3, imported the ZClasses and I still face
this denial (actually the error reports I am 'not authorized to view the
objects').

Now the twist ... I just happened to click to expand the tree view of the
ZClass (left pane of the ZMI) and much to my surprise, I am able to access
the different classes, make changes etc.  However, I am still unable to view
the constructors of the classes.

I have scoured the roles and permissions at the root level and all appears
as I believe it should.

Scully, where is Mulder ....  I need help...
