I don't get this, `gnus-make-directory' should only create the
directory if it does not already exist:
(defun gnus-make-directory (directory)
"Make DIRECTORY (and all its parents) if it doesn't exist."
(require 'nnmail)
(let ((file-name-coding-system nnmail-pathname-coding-system))
(when (and directory
(not (file-exists-p directory)))
(make-directory directory t)))
t)
Is there something wrong with `file-exists-p' in your setup? NFS?
Does `(file-exists-p "/home/lconrad/Mail/world/old/")' really evaluate
to nil? The directory exists, right?
Maybe `file-directory-p' should be used instead?
