This generally indicates that the webserver no longer has write 
permission to the appropriate directory (/data/session in this case).  
Usually that means that a server administrator has changed a configuration
or otherwise changed file permissions such that PHP is no longer
working properly.

At any rate, it's not really a PmWiki error, nor does it involve
wiki.d.  You could try setting up a special directory for
sessions, by adding the following to the beginning of local/config.php:

    mkdirp('session.d');
    session_save_path('session.d');

Hope this helps,
