Ahem. Very strange: [jan:~/tmp] ls foo bar [jan:~/tmp] ls foo [jan:~/tmp] ls foo bar [jan:~/tmp] mkdir foo/bar/subdir [jan:~/tmp] ls foo/bar/ subdir [jan:~/tmp] rmdir foo/bar/subdir/ [jan:~/tmp] perl -e 'mkdir "foo/bar/subdir";' [jan:~/tmp] ls foo/bar/ subdir Now it works! I have no clue what went wrong, but I will investigate. Thanks, Jan -- Lead me not into temptation.
