It looks like my data dir needs migrating, but this command is failing.

rndlists:/var/www/rndwiki# moin --config-dir `pwd`/data
--wiki-url=rndwiki.mitel.com/wiki migration data

data_dir "/org/mywiki/data" does not exist, or has incorrect ownership or
permissions.

Make sure the directory and the subdirectory "pages" are owned by the web
server and are readable, writable and executable by the web server user
and group.

It is recommended to use absolute paths and not relative paths. Check
also the spelling of the directory name.

Help appreciated,
Mike
