The permission needed here is for the "effective" user to write to the
"ZEO control socket", which is normally in the 'etc' direcdtory of your
instance home, and named 'zeo.zdsock'.  Try changing 'zeo.conf' to put
that file in your 'var' directory, where you *must* be able to create
files (otherwise you wouldn't be able to use 'runzeo').
