Normally PmWiki creates its files and directories with permissions 
sufficient to make sure the account holder can still overwrite
and remove them.  I'm very curious to know why that isn't
happening in your case -- what version of PmWiki are you running?
Can you send me the results of doing an "ls -l" on your pmwiki
directory?

It's pretty easy to get the file permissions fixed -- I'll
send a script for this.  However, I'd like to know what went
wrong first.
