Sounds very strange... Seems to be that you've reinstalled your ZOPE in 
some way. My advice: Don't use any Suse-RPM's for Zope!!! It's really a 
mess...

If you have packed your ZODB recently, you should have a look at 
Zope/var/Data.fs.old. You can use it to restore your ZODB. Simply copy 
it to Data.fs and restart your Zope... But maybe you should backup your 
existing Data.fs before...;)
