I don't know what could happen to put it in that situation.  Are you using 
DBTab 1.1?  (Please do.)  It will not say "Ok" if the database is not 
mounted.  Are you perhaps mounting the wrong database at /plone/Data?

If you need /plone/Data to be something other than a Zope Folder, you'll
need to go through some process to create /plone/Data in the mounted
database before you mount the database.  The most likely thing to do is to
temporarily mount /plone (which is not a Plone site, but a Folder) under a
different path than /plone, visit the /plone folder, and create a Plone
Folder in it.  Or you might just break out the SQL command line.
