Christopher replied:
The path is set to www/tmp, it exists, and it is writable.  The problem 
is still there.  Any other ideas?  This error makes the wiki about as 
useful as a text file stored on our file server.

We are getting the same message for some users (me! -- I'm the research 
administrator of the project, someone else is the wiki administrator). But 
if I just ignore the error I can edit and save as I'm used to doing. I still 
don't like having the error message, it's a signal that something's going 
wrong.
