When you have a difficult problem, try to make small steps.

A most natural small step is to forget VHM for the moment
and ensure that you can contact Zope without VHM magic
as expected. Can you?

If so and you cannot connect with VHM, then install
Shane's "VerbodeSecurity" product. It helps with all
kinds of authorization problems.
