[Zope] Importing A Plone Instance

[robert]

When Zope is started as root it will be run as an other user (nobody i 
believe). Therefore this user has to have the tigth to read your *.zexp.
This is explained in the various files you find in the doc directory of your 
Zope.

You can tell Zope as what user it should run with the -u parameter.
Something like python z2.py -u zope would therefore make Zope to run as user 
Zope.
