Another (possibly simpler) approach to try is to rename "wiki.d" to 
"wiki.d-backup", run PmWiki to let it create a new "wiki.d" directory,
then copy the files from wiki.d-backup into wiki.d .  (I suggest doing
a copy instead of a move so you still have the originals lying around.)

In most PHP environments, it's the permissions of the wiki.d directory 
itself that matters for updating, and not the permissions of the files
within the wiki.d directory.
