Maybe this can help?

This is from either Plope or Plone site (i think I snipped it long ago):
<<
If you are running everything as root, you will get an instance that 
cannot be started, because a different effective user id is required for 
it to change to. Even if you create an account after the fact, that user 
cannot start zope because it doesn't have access to any of the instance 
files.

The best way to run mkzopeinstance is to first su to another user (su 
zope) and then run mkzopeinstance.py. The zope user must have write 
access to create the directory.

EFFECTIVE-USER
After the instance is created, edit "effective-user zope" into the 
etc/zope.conf, so if you start it as root later it should su itself to 
the non-root user.
