Although what you have should work, you might try...

   $WikiDir = new PageStore('wiki.d/{$Group}/{$FullName}');

No, normally it doesn't. However, if you're running with safe_mode 
enabled, then PmWiki can't automatically create the folders, and
permissions become *very* important.

Presumably, if you already moved all of the page files into 
appropriate subdirectories, then the wiki.d/Blooper/ folder 
should already exist, and PmWiki is complaining that it
cannot write into wiki.d/Blooper/ .  So the problem would seem 
to be strictly a permissions issue on wiki.d/ or
wiki.d/Blooper/ .

Also, do you get any PHP error messages in the resulting output?
