It's almost certainly a problem with the URL for the upload
files.  Are you doing any URL rewriting or changing, a la ChangePmWikiURL?  
If so, then PmWiki can no longer automatically figure out the location
of the uploads from the URL (as it does by default), and you'll have to
tell it explicitly by setting the $UploadUrlFmt variable in your config.php.

I'll create a cookbook page to describe this (if one doesn't already
exist), but if you want all uploads for a site to go into a single directory
you simply set $UploadPrefixFmt='/'; in config.php.
