Better would be to simply remove .pageindex altoghether whenever
you perform the FTP synchronization.  PmWiki will then automatically
build a new .pageindex.

it must be something else that is blocking access to the file.
But again, removing .pageindex altogether and letting PmWiki
rebuild it is a superior solution.
