Be sure that the user of the zope process is able to change the
original Data.fs. I think this is just a permission problem of your
file system.

After having successfully packed the Data.fs to Data.fs.pack the zope
process tries to move the Data.fs to Data.fs.old and Data.fs.pack to
Data.fs but it seems to fail due to a permission problem.
Nevertheless, the two files should be ok.
