It's either an interaction between uploads and wikiforms or a problem
with numeric pagenames. Try the following test:

- comment out the include wikiform.php in config.php and request an upload

- if it works, there is an unexpected interaction between forms and upload

- if it doesn't work, there is an issue in upload with the numeric name

If necessary, there ought to be a way to modify the forms script
so pagenames can have an optional alphabetic prefix.

I'm not familiar with the technique for having a separate uploads 
directory for each page. As it involves setting $UploadPrefixFmt to
'/$Group/$Name' you could try setting

  $UploadsPrefixFmt = '/$Group/U$Name';

in config.php, so it creates uploads/Contributions/U00001 -- it's
worth a try but I don't know whether this will fix the problem.
