You're right (mostly!), I had an arcane error due to some symbolic
links (I'm sharing my plugins between dokuwiki installations) and as a
result the media links were getting confused.  Normal [[xxx]] links
worked perfectly but media {{xxx}} links were decidedly confused. A
re-installation and copying of data has sorted things out.

Now that I can actually refer to media files in .../data/media as
{{:media.png}} I'm fairly happy as I can just copy the files direct to
that directory and insert the reference in the pages.

I still think the media link creation button in the editor is a bit
convoluted and really can't understand why one would want to keep
media files in a different place from the pages.

Thanks for all the help anyway.  :-)
