Subject: broken mkdir -p
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

mkdir -p //host/this/directory/exists/new

fails with

mkdir: cannot create directory `//host': Permission denied

Immediately after

mkdir -p //host/this/directory/exists/new

works just fine.

Eugene.
