The wiki.d/ directory is normally in the same directory as the
pmwiki.php script -- you just need to give the webserver write
permissions to it.

That's correct, it's quite strange.  It looks to me as though
PHP's realpath() function isn't returning the actual location
for some reason.

If you could get me a url to access your site, and set $EnableDiag = 1;
in the local/config.php, then I think I could figure out what is
causing the incorrect error message (and fix it for the next
release).
