Page variable replacements happen very early in the markup
processing -- by the time directives are processed, PmWiki
has already done the page variable substitutions.

It might work to restart processing using PRR(), as in:

  Markup('skidoo_tab_edit', 'directives',
         '/\\(:skidoo_tab_edit:\\)/e',
         "PRR('<div class="divedit">[[{$FullName}?action=edit | &nbsp; ]]{$FullName}</div>')"
        );

Actually, $EnableRelativePageVars = 1 gives "relative page references" 
-- i.e., {$FullName} is relative to the page in which it is written,
instead of the page on which it is displayed.

You probably want to set things up to work with $EnableRelativePageVars
sitewide, as that will be the PmWiki default in 2.2.0.
