I ran into something similar that turned out to be caused by my use of 
wvWare to parse the contents of .doc files.  In my case the wvWare versions 
default setting was to extract any images within the document and drop a 
copy of it in the directory the parser was called from, adding a 
--nographics arg to the command stopped the image extraction.  Obviously 
they all had the Zope instances UID and Group because Zope was the one 
calling the parser.
