What about if you specify an e-mail address as well...?

moin --config-dir=`/home/rp4/mywiki` account create \
     --name=RenatoP --password=RenatoP --email=renatop at localhost

The moin tool isn't always very helpful when it doesn't get the right options. 
By the way, it isn't checking the password here, it just writes the new user 
details directly.

In case the above doesn't work, also try quoting the values:

moin --config-dir=`/home/rp4/mywiki` account create \
     --name='RenatoP' --password='RenatoP' --email='renatop at localhost'

This might be needed if the shell does some magic with the @ character.
