I don't know what you mean by "sync".  Are you trying to
extract data from zope and put it in some human-useful form
on the filesystem?

If so, I'd probably just use a script that calls wget
or some other standard http client to extract the data
I want.

Or possibly look into using Ape, but I've never done that.
