"Normal" CMF content indexes itself into the 'portal_catalog' when it
is created, re-indexes itself when modified, and unindexes itself before
being deleted.  You will need to emulate this behavior on behalf of the
filesystem-based content, either:

  - Write a "batch indexing" script which runs periodically, comparing
    the files on disk and the catalog entires, and reconciling
    differences.

or:

  - If the filesystem content objects are never modified / added /
    removed outside of Zope, then you can do the indexing operations
    "inline"< as the changes happen.
