If you look in /tmp/persistent/qdig/pmwiki-files, has anything been 
created?

You could also try adding a 'mkdir' within config.php to verify that the 
pmwiki really does have permisson to create a directory in that location.

For instance, create a 'my_test.php' with this:

<?php
$go = 1;
cmd("mkdir -p /tmp/persistent/qdig/pmwiki-files/myTest");

function cmd($s) {
  global $go;
  if($go) {
    echo "> ".$s."\n";
    system("$s 2>&1");
  } else {
    echo "(> ".$s.")\n";
  }
}

?>

and then execute this from a browser. The output should contain any error 
messages you get.
