You're looking in the wrong place.
Go to the root of the ZMI in a web browser. You'll see and object called 
error_log, that's what Paul was talking about. Unfortunately, entries in 
this don't persist across Zope restarts, so you want to check the box 
that says "copy events to the event log", then they'll show up where 
you're currently looking...

Well, Chris McDonough is your man for reading these runes ;-)

Tried WebDAV?

Well, for your needs, you should really be looking at Tramlines or 
Railroad from Infrae...
