I expect, you Zope is now locking at a different place than before
(maybe because an "INSTANCE_HOME" variable is set differently).

Check where Zope finds its "Data.fs".
To do that, go to "Control_Panel" and note the "CLIENT_HOME"
value. The "Data.fs" is the file "Data.fs" in this
directory.
Check whether this is the correct place.
If it is, check whether you have backups for it.
If it is not, then your right "Data.fs" must be elsewhere.
Define "INSTANCE_HOME", such that Zope finds it.
