If it's saying that something is in the way I think you already have an 
object on the mount path. (i.e. if you are trying to mount the ape 
storage at /fs, you can't have an object or folder already named "fs" at 
your zodb root.) So if you already have something named "fs", rename it, 
add the mount point, and then copy items from your renamed "fs" folder 
to the new folder. You might want to get a cvs checkout from Feb 1, 2004 
as well. As far as I can tell that has the Python 2.3 fixes, but it's 
before Shane started adding changes for 0.8. I'm not sure how stable the 
cvs HEAD is right now.

I can't really think of any general hints, but if you can post specific 
errors and questions to the list, people are generally willing to help 
:) Unfortunately, I think a lot of the Ape discussion has happened in 
private email, so it's been a lot of trial and error for me to get 
things working. Hopefully this thread helps the situation a bit.
