Probably a YahooMerchant restriction.

Try the following at the beginning of local/config.php:
$WorkDir = 'wikid';
$WikiDir = new PageStore('wikid/{$FullName}');
$WikiLibDirs = array(&$WikiDir, new PageStore('$FarmD/wikilibd/{$FullName}'));
$LockFile = 'wikid/flock';
Then, rename the wikilib.d/ directory to be wikilibd/ . Then we'll see
what other issues arise with YahooMerchant.
Please keep me posted on what works; I'd like to create a Cookbook recipe
for YahooMerchant so that others will know what's going on.
Thanks!
