This is probably because a) you hoster does not allow certain a
directive in the .htaccess file or b) you need to set a RewriteBase
option additionally to te rewrite rules.
for a) try to remove all directives and put them in again step by step
for b) try to add the following right after "RewriteEngine on":
RewriteBase /
This assumes you wiki is installed in the root of your webserverroot, if
not adjust the path accordingly

This should work with setting
$conf['savedir'] = '/path/to/webspace/data';
Using
$conf['savedir'] = '../data';
should probably work, too.
