Did you perhaps upgrade your site from a previous version?
Versions of PmWiki prior to 2.1 had this problem, but it shouldn't
exist afterwards.

At any rate, you can fix the problem by changing the edit password
for Site.SideBar to be '@_site_edit', which means you want it
to follow the site's edit password.  

(This has been the default for PmWiki's Site.SideBar page since
2.1.0, which is why I'm curious if you upgraded from an older
version.)
