chmod -R zope.zope does not work, 

you mean "chown".

This is a permission problem. What does 'ls -l $file' show?

Have a look with "ps" what userid the zope server uses. But AFAIK zope
does not change its uid.

One other way to check the permissions:

su zope
cat $file

try the following in your zope-home:
chmod -R 755 .
