As you already heard, you are not restricted by Zope security
in ExternalMethods.

Did you start Zope as "root"?
In this case, it will switch to the user specified at installation
immediately after it had bound the ports.
If you did not specify anything, it will switch to the user
"nobody". Maybe, the user switched to does not have permissions
to access the external files.
