There is no error number, just "file or directory does not exist"

the "mkdir path" line raises the error (found be using the dubugger to run

Doesn't matter as that section is not entered. It's not entered because the 
directory be tested for, /home/grahame/.gbdir, doesn't exist. I have 
confirmed this by tracing the path of execution with the gambas dubugger.
