[Zope] Loading a legacy site?

Hi,

I'm attempting to save myself several hours of work by bulk loading a 
legacy site into my new Zope instance. However I can't seem to get the 
right syntax or something with the load_site utility. When I attempt to 
upload the "About" directory with this command:
> python utilities/load_site.py -u <username>:<password> 
> http://localhost:8080/abfnet/about /users/hofo/sites/abfnet/About

I get this error:

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "utilities/load_site.py", line 374, in ?

Any ideas?

I've also tried uploading via FTP and WebDAV and can't do that either. 
The FTP seems to work if the file already exists, but I can't create new 
files/folders. WebDAV seems to have the same problem from Goliath (a 
WebDAV client). And I can't seem to get Dreamweaver Ultradev to see 
either FTP or WebDAV. I've looked at the ZipFolder extension but can't 
figure out what to do with it for installation/configuration. Any ideas 
or solutions would be extremely helpful. Thanks.
