[Zope] Zope 2.7.3 database pack fails

[Dennis Allison]

The pack operation appears to have stopped, but it did not complete
properly.  It left several files from the packing procss in the var
directory:

	Data.fs.index.index-tmp
	Data.fs.pack

so cleanup was incomplete.  Looking at the event log, there's an
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted from line 1513 in 
FileStorage.py.  The failure is on os.rename().  I checked the 
protections and everything looks ok. (System runs as user zope 
but gets started by root.

The Data.fs file are all read write by anyone and are owned by 
root.

Changing ownership to zope.zope of all the Data.fs files seems to have
fixed the problem.... 

Thanks to all who helped.
