You're welcome.

Right, so I'd strongly recommend that now you've got it
working OK on 
Windows, if you do still want it to work on Linux as well,
then get Zope 
2.9.5 and Plone 2.5.1 on Linux too , to eliminate any issues
being due 
to this version difference.

Originally you mentioned Plone 2.5RC2 but not your Zope
version. If you 
had a later Zope originally (say 2.9.5) and then tried to
run it on 
2.9.3, that could easily account for these problems.

Since it was the box that was hacked not the Plone site
itself, I doubt 
the data.fs is contaminated, especially if it works fine on
Windows.
Its possible some library somewhere on the machine is
accidentally older 
after your rebuild. Could you have upgraded something, and
didn't keep a 
record? (Which you've now lost through re-installing) Typing
"aptitude 
install" or "yum install" - whatever Red
Hat's version is - takes less 
time than documenting that you did it. 
That would be hard to debug though now. Such a problem could
magically 
disappear in a later release of Fedora that has later
packages.....
