Please keep the list in the loop.

There are various ways to debug this. One is by looking at (or logging) the
XML-RPC protocol messages and see what messages Zope is sending back and
forth. Shane Hathaway has produced the excellent tcpwatch product that also
can be used for just this purpose:

The important thing to realize is that the traceback that you see are only
for code on the XML-RPC client side, but they are caused by errors on the
XML-RPC server side. You want to see what goes wrong on that side.
