That file is only needed if you want to run tools such as replica, backup, or 
checkds, while the storage is live. If you always shut the storage down 
cleanly before running those tools then it is ok for that file to be missing 
(although you will get a warning) or empty.

from http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/snapshot.html :

This file contains lines which describe methods which the tool can try to 
force the storage into snapshot mode. Each line must be of the form:

http URL ACCESS 

URL 
	The URL of a DirectoryStorageToolkit instance in a Zope server. 
ACCESS 
	The name of a file which contains username and password of a Zope
	user authorized to use that DirectoryStorageToolkit


for example, my file contains the one line:
http http://localhost:5080/DSToolkit ../../../access

I hope that helps
