I think your RewriteRule probably needs to have a caret (^) in front
so that it only matches capital letters at the beginning of the URL,
as in

RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /home/sv_ecowikiorg/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?pagename=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Otherwise it'll find the Main that comes after the upload/ part and
incorrectly rewrite the rule.

I don't know if the ChangePmWikiURL page should be modified to reflect
this change (I didn't write that particular section).

Let us know if this fixes the problem, though.
