Anyway, why don't you use a simpler "mkdir -p ...."?
I read your other subsequent message too, about the error, and noticed 
you solved.
So, you *can* work out by gambas code, and your task is done.
This is not a "gambas" suggestion, but in the end a "mkdir -p" is 
cleaner, easier, and faster...
Right after a "mkdir -p ..." you can test for the directory existance, 
to see if all went well.

Cheers,
