SELinux MAC happens at a whole other level than filesystem permissions.  If
you are fixed on using SELinux on Fedora, you should pose your question
here: http://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list. 
Getting an arbitrary app to work under SELinux isn't a simple thing, or for
the weak at heart. ;)

Putting SELinux into warn only state, and figuring out what moin is trying
to do that SELinux doesn't like would be a start.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
