Define "look[s] good".

You'll need to specify the problem in more detail.  What error(s) do you get?
Does the new directory get created?  If not, what happens if you manually
create the directory first?  If so, what permission/ownership is it created
with?

Does it work on other Linux boxes, and of so, what's different between the
ones that work and the ones that don't?
