The ZEO *server* isn't aware of products, but ZEO clients are.  ZEO 
clients is another way of saying "Zope instance that connects to a 
remote ZODB", where remote ZODB implies "ZEO server".

Your script needs to make sure it adds SOFTWARE_HOME (which is 
Zope/lib/python) to the sys.path, if it isn't already there.  I can't 
remember if you have to add anything in the INSTANCE_HOME if you're 
using an INSTANCE_HOME, or if Zope figures that out.

Since this code is acting as a client to the ZEO server, it does need 
the products.
