I'm just guessing you mean "zopetest"; I don't know what "zopetest.py" is.

The #! rewrite is working for me.  Are you using the installed
version, or the version unpacked from the release tarball?  The latter
isn't expected to work at all; only the installed version matters. 
(The unpacked version uses /usr/bin/env python, while the installed
version uses the Python identified using --with-python.)

You & Benji figured this one out already; the append should be changed
to a prepend for sys.path.
