Sounds like you have your Apache setup misconfigured, and it is not
passing along the cookies. Use a Firefox extension like
LiveHTTPHeaders or the Web Developer Toolbar to see what Cookie
headers are being sent back and forth to see if Apache is handling
things correctly. Or you can use a logging proxy like
http://hathawaymix.org/Software/TCPWatch to see what goes on between
Apache and Zope and/or between Apache and your browser to detect
problems.

By default the session cookie is called _ZopeId
