I suspect that you have a security/permissions problem.  Take a look at
the Security tab of the Zope root and ensure you (that is, your user) has
permission to access databases, etc.  I assume you have installed and are
using the appropriate database adaptor in Zope.  (If you are accessing the 
database via your external method you need to remember that the
permissions need to reflect the user Zope is running as.)
