Apparently this is the case with all of the 0.9.x versions of instiki 
installed from the .tgz or .zip files. The .dmg version creates the 
directories on install (in ~/Library/Application Support). I think it's 
otherwise supposed to make then on initial startup if they're not 
already there, but it doesn't.

This is discussed at http://www.instiki.org/show/FAQ
