Do not use "SkinDirUrls" - I think that is spelled wrong.
use "$SkinLibDirs".

Skin CSS and skin image files MUST be publicly available.
You can put the skin tmpl and skin php files anywhere.
This means that one skin can be comprised of 1 or 2
directories.

The $SkinLibDirs array index points to where the directory
is located in the file system.  The $SkinLibDirs array value
points to a url for the publicly accessible files.  They can
point to the same location, except the index is a file path
and the value is a url.

You can put skin css and images in one location and the
skin (tmpl and/or php) files into another location.

A skin is "found" when it finds a directory named for the skin
in the $SkinLibDirs array index.

It helps to looks at the PMWiki source code for function
SetSkin in file scripts/skins.php.
