Forgot one thing: you can not move the d pawn

Which d-pawn? Am I correct in understanding your description, that the finishing position should be this?

 

skakmadurinn

Just the black d pawn. You cant move it / capture with it. Thats right, this is the right position!

I know this puzzle, and that's not part of the stipulation. The original "answer" is incorrect, because the position must be reached after Black's fourth move. Anyways, well done koko!
