In the rc.local context, you are root, so look at your zope.conf, and 
check if you set up the user who's running Zope
(the effective-user directive)

A little offtopic: generally, it's not a good idea to run a service 
(like Zope is) in rc.local. Maybe you should put the starting script in 
rc.d, with symlinks to the corresponding start levels (for start/stop).
