Unless /foo is a directory immediately under the root directory, this won't
work. Remember taht if you are issuing a filesystem command, you need to
use the filesystem path, not the location relative to your server document
root. If you check the shell commands, you'll find that at least some of
them have a facility to check the return value from the command, which may
be useful for debugging.
