Well, I had the same problem. First at all the most important thing to know is
that (for the moment ??) a WikiName must be unique in a project. Sub-directory
support is quite young and don't know (yet ) how to handle the same WikiName in
different directories.
With the last distribution I get (quite old now), when WikeFiles were in sub
directories the publishing wasn't correct but links during edition in emacs
worked. The problem with the publishing was that files was generated in several
directories but html links was made only at the "top level directory". Due to my
poor english, this is a example:
<wiki>
Wiki/Home
Wiki/Page1
Wiki/SubDir/Page2
</wiki>

<published files>
WebWiki/Home.html
WebWiki/Page1.html
WebWiki/WikiIndex.html
WebWiki/SubDir/Page2.html
</published files>


The WikiIndex file was something like that:
<li><a href="Home.html">Home</a>
</li>
<li><a href="Page1.html">Page1</a>
</li>
<li><a href="Page2html">Page2</a>  <!-- ************** wrong link ************
-->
</li>

All link refering to a file in a sub directory was wrong.


To correct my problem, I choose to put all the html files in the top level
directory (As a WikiName is unique it's not a problem).

Hope that my explanations help you.

Regards,

Nicolas
