May be Zope did something rolled within your ZODB and changed ZODB
content in any way i/you can't see on a first view...

I've already tried the following:

Secured current non working zope db and instance
Restored just the Data.fs* files (same error)
Restored whole instance (tried from two different backup sets in
desperation)

I think that pretty much covers it.

I have full backups of the whole server, so can try restoring other
sections, just don't really know enough about zope/plone to know what to
restore.  I store the instance in /usr/local/instances/zope-instance, so
I just copied the whole 'zope-instance' folder over.

I don't think the people who put the content on the website change it
very often, so I can go to even older backups if needed, but I don't
think it'll work.

Cheers,
