Todd,
You don't say what system you're running on, but this is a symptom of not
using gnu tar on the Zope tar file. I usually type

% tar zxf Zope.tgz
And then do the python wo_pcgi.py dance. It works fine then (make sure you
use the same python you're going to run zope with).

I'm a bit rusty with this stuff at the moment, so I did a google to check on
things, this url came up with some pertinent information;
