You will need that file in the future if you want to run checkds when Zope is 
running, but it wont help you now that you want to run checkds before setting 
up Zope. What you need now is:

http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#csnap
"Can I force the storage into snapshot mode from the command line?"

Use the script listed there, then run
python snapshot.py /usr/zopestorage - python checkds.py
as before.
