Umm, even if *everything* else fails, you can still manually
truncate the Data.fs file to remove the last transaction
(presumably the change you made to the access rule), and
you'll be back to normal.

That's one of the things that I really appreciate about
Zope, that it's practically (though not absolutely) immune
to unrecoverable data corruption.

HTH,
