You aren't following the directions in the installation document:

  http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMF-1.3/INSTALL.txt

which say, among other things;

  Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products
 (or into $SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products)

In your case, SOFTWARE_HOME looks to be '/usr/local/zope251'.
