A very clear problem report:

  Your OS tells you that you do not have the necessary
  permission to open "/usr/local/testsetup/Zope-2.6.2-src/var/ZEO_SERVER.pid"
  in "w+" mode.

  This may means "ZEO_SERVER.pid" already exists and it does not allow
  to be written or it does not yet exist and the directory
  forbids creation of new files.

Thus check the permissions of
 "/usr/local/testsetup/Zope-2.6.2-src/var" and
 "/usr/local/testsetup/Zope-2.6.2-src/var/ZEO_SERVER.pid"
The Zope process must be able to write there.
