I'm not familiar with V1 or conversion issues, but I do notice that all 
of the links on the old V1 site seem to be missing the pipe "|" that 
would be required in current versions of PmWiki to create an aliased 
link: [[PageName Alias]] should be [[PageName|Alias]]

But when I look at your new version (using ?action=source) the 
underlying markup does not seem to be there.  As a test, what happens if 
you edit the old page, select all, copy and paste it into the new page. 
  The markup should be there, but the links should point to non-existent 
pages (called PageNameAlias, if we use the examples above).  If you 
insert some pipes between the name and the alias, the links should work.

(But, again, I know nothing about V1 or conversion from V1 to V2).
