[Setup] Plone3: some problems using buildout

Hi,
I'm trying to get a Plone3 instance installed using buildout ("latest"
mode, just updated today) for a deployment configuration, along the
lines of Martin's nice tutorial.
Everything installs "semi-fine" in that the general machinery works if I
don't attempt to use 'user' or 'effective-user' statements, but run all
processes as me. But I have trouble finding additional information about
doing it in a realistic way, eg. with separate users for these
processes, or otherwise customized zeo.conf and zope.conf configuration
files (ie, extend/modify the recipes). I also have some strange problems
that I couldn't yet fathom:
* Starting ZEO works nicely, regardless whether I try to switch
the user or not.
* Starting the Zope client ("primary") works nicely if I start
it as me, regardless whether I say "start" or "fg".
* Starting the Zope client as root using "start", using an
'effective-user' statement in parts/primary/etc/zope.conf,
does NOT work in that the process starts nicely and doesn't
produce any error messages in the logs (var/log/primary*.log),
but it does not open the listening socket. IOW, I cannot
send any requests to this process.
* Starting it as root saying "fg" instead (ie, "./bin/primary fg"),
it does not even start, but yields this error message:
# ./bin/primary fg
"/home/toni/zope/ffii-plone/parts/primary/bin/runzope"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/home/toni/zope/ffii-plone/parts/zope2/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py",
line 56, in ?

makeLockFile
ImportError: No module named misc.lock_file
Of course, the file is there, and I also chown'ed -R toni:zope and chmod
-R g+rwX everything, so access should really not be a problem.
This happens with Plone 3.0.4 with Zope 2.10.5 on Debian Etch/amd64.
I've seen a similar problem discussed a few months ago where someone
had no luck on Solaris, but I don't know in how far these problems are
related.
Any help is much appreciated!
Best,
