Please post up the shortest script you have that reproduces this in [CODE]&[/CODE] tags along with the output.

It would be useful if the script had some tracing in it to show what it is actually trying to do so we don't theorise and miss something.


Thanks,
Robin

rfmkdir

RFMKDIR(1)							Rfio User Commands							RFMKDIR(1)

NAME

       rfmkdir - make remote directories

SYNOPSIS

       rfmkdir [ -m mode ] [ -p ] directory...

DESCRIPTION

       rfmkdir	provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by
       umask(1)).  The directory argument is either a remote directory name of the form:

	      hostname:path

       or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory requires write permission  in  the  parent
       directory.

OPTIONS

       The following options apply to rfmkdir:

       -m mode
	      This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories.	Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).

       -p     With this option, rfmkdir creates dirname by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.

SEE ALSO

       mkdir(1), umask(1), mkdir(2), rfiod(1)
