[Zope] Newbie Q: Error creating LocalFS

[Samir Mishra]

I've had some other weird behaviour with LocalFS, I'll investigate a bit
further, see if the problem is mine, platform related, Zope related or
LocalFS related. And post on this list whatever I come up with. 

Chris, thanks for you help, and next time I'll provide error logs, trace
logs etc. instead of just "gibberish".

Samir.

I'm not sure relative paths have ever been sane with LocalFS, although they
may 
have worked by chance in the past ;-)

Okay, we have a type and value. Where's the traceback?!

cheers,
