$WorkDir should be a string, not a PageStore. Also the trailing slash
shouldn't be there.

The first variable given to the PageStore creator function should be a
string that when passed to FmtPageName gives the page's location;
you're missing any variable such as $FullName that'll identify the
page itself.

It might also be useful to have a common directory to look in for the
default pages, PmWiki help and such; this is wikilib.d/ in the
standard distro. Without the iswrite parameter being set, that
PageStore won't be user-writable either -- editing and saving pages
from that PageStore will write to WikiDir instead.

So, try the following:

$WorkDir = '/var/www/wikifarm/maria';
$WikiDir = new PageStore('/var/www/wikifarm/maria/{$FullName}');
$WikiSharedDir = new PageStore('/var/www/wikifarm/shared/{$FullName}');
$WikiLibDirs = array( &$WikiDir, &$WikiSharedDir );
