Right. That's because setuptools compiles eggs in a temporary directory. 
That's why all compiles paths are completely wrong, making the debugging 
of egg code a bit complicated.

The problem is that zdaemon currently doesn't work on Windows due to the 
fact that it's based on Unix sockets. I should find the time and update 
the FOO-ctl script to also work on Windows. There's some code in Zope 2 
that will allow me to do that. If anybody is interested to look at it 
him/herself, I'm more than willing to accept patches *wink* ;).

The solution on Windows is to simply not use the FOO-ctl script. 
Instead, use paster:

   bin\paster server deploy.ini
