[Zope] Newbie Q: Error creating LocalFS

Hi, I'm new hereabouts, and though I have found a few references to 
similar problems in the archives and so on, still nothing is working 
for me.  I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this, or point me in 
a different direction.  I am really new to Zope, so forgive me if I'm 
doing something really obvious, or perhaps impossible.

I want to use ZServer as a DAV server to my users' OS filestores 
(/home/user - FreeBSD 5.2).

In the root of my Zope (2.7) I add a folder called dav, and I point my 
virtualhostmonster at it as 'dav.domain.com/dav/' (but I'm not getting 
this far so that shouldn't matter).

Then in the dav folder I create a Local File System object (downloaded 
today from http://zope.org/Members/SmileyChris/LocalFS_Patched/0.3) 
called 'username' with a base of '/home/username/dav/' (a directory I 
just created and gave my Zserver process user ownership of).

And when I click 'Add', it all goes horribly wrong and I get the error:

"Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

  Resource not found
  Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.

Check the URL and try again.

Resource: __replaceable__

Troubleshooting Suggestions
	• 	The URL may be incorrect.
	• 	The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.
	• 	A resource that this resource relies on may be  encountering an 
error.

For more detailed information about the error, please  refer to error 
log.

  If the error persists please contact the site maintainer.  Thank you 
for your patience."

And from then on whenever I try to access the dav folder from the root 
I get a similar error.

(Note, I tried adding the self.isAnObjectManager=1 test as detailed in 
a post of Thu Jan 8 12:26:24 EST 2004 to this list, but unless I have 
missed some step in editing a .py file, it hasn't had any effect)

Help!!!

Thanks in advance,

Jock Coats
