Bleh, I wanted:

"""
if [ ! -e /usr/local/share/emacs ]; then
    if mkdir /usr/local/share/emacs 2>/dev/null; then
        if test -e /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local ; then
            if chown root:staff /usr/local/share/emacs; then
                chmod 2775 /usr/local/share/emacs || true
            fi
        elif chown root:root /usr/local/share/emacs; then
            chmod 0755 /usr/local/share/emacs || true
        fi
    fi
fi
"""

Apologies for the confusion.
