The problem isn't with DreamWeaver, but with the combination of 
DreamWeaver and WebDrive.  If you use DreamWeaver's native WebDAV 
support, checking files in and out of Zope, you'll be fine.

Any tool that makes an object database look like a filesystem, as 
WebDrive and WebIFS do, is deceptively helpful and potential trouble. 
Zope objects are not files, and Folders are not directories.
