We have all of our content produced in a large CMF based application, 
but at the very last minute (or at some point soon afterwards) we had 
to change the delivery tier to a set of static HTML pages. The initial 
implementation of that feeds this  static delivery tier was done with a 
spidering application.

The way this spider was designed to work was for every Zope URL 
(http://www.example.com/foo/bar) to create a directory $DOCROOT/foo/bar 
and then write the content into $DOCROOT/foo/bar/index.html. The zope 
links would remain the same, but the request for /foo/bar would result 
in a redirect to /foo/bar/ before returning content.

As for the problem you mentioned about missing content. Are you using 
something like cookie crumbler for authentication? Maybe your spider is 
not keeping and re-sending the cookies.
