Ok, here are some diagnostic details:

1. That error appears to be triggered by looking at the pub directory 
that is part of the regular PmWiki install that I have located outside 
of my web document tree ("the private pub"):

a. Yes, my FarmPubDirUrl does point to a separate pub directory that 
exists and is located in a web-servable directory ("the public pub");

b. Skins work if they are installed in both the private pub and the 
public pub;

c. If a skin is only installed in the public pub, I get a blank page 
with the can't process, unable to find skin error (same results if I 
break the path of the private pub by renaming that pub or skins directory)

d. If a skin is only installed in the private pub, I get an unstructured 
layout that appears to be using the standard PmWiki skin (all content 
starts at the left margin, starting with PageActions, then the page 
content, then the Logo followed by the SideBar)

Any ideas?
