That didn't work (even using --libdir), it still couldn't find any tests
and I didn't try to debug.  I ended up just adding the following script
as "all.py" to my Product's test dir and call it via "zopectl run
Products/MyProduct/tests/all.py".  It assumes all of the test module
names start with "test" and that they're located with in the "tests"
subdirectory of the product.

product_name = "MyProduct"
from unittest import TextTestRunner, findTestCases, TestSuite
from Zope.Startup.datatypes import importable_name
from Products.Websafe.tests import testQuotaTool
from Products.Websafe.tests import testPropertiesTool
import os
import sys

here = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])

test_names = os.listdir(here)

test_modules = []

for name in test_names:
    if name.startswith('test') and not name.endswith('pyc'):
        name, ext = os.path.splitext(name)
        test_modules.append(importable_name('Products.%s.tests.%s'
%(product_name, name)))

suite = TestSuite()
for module in test_modules:
    suite.addTest(findTestCases(module))
runner = TextTestRunner(verbosity=2)
runner.run(suite)
