seaside hosting: trouble with assureExistenceOfPath

Hi,
I uploaded a test application for the first time on seasidehosting and
am having problems creating directories under the image. All was well
locally. The problem starts when I try to create a directory with code
similar to:

dir1:='dir1'.
dir2:='dir2'.
newDirectory := FileDirectory on: FileDirectory default fullName,
FileDirectory slash asString, dir1.
fixDirectory assureExistenceOfPath: dir2

I found a reference to a similar problem:
http://liststest.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/seaside/2006-August/008738.html
with a fix:
http://liststest.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/seaside/2006-August/008747.html

unfortunately I get the same walkback with the fix. ...

Any ideas?

Cheers

Nick

I've had the same problem.  The workaround I use is a very similar
method which suppresses errors on #createDirectory:

ensureExistenceOfPath: localPath
        localPath isEmpty ifTrue: [ ^self ].
        (self directoryExists: localPath) ifTrue: [^ self].
        self containingDirectory ensureExistenceOfPath: self localName.
        [self createDirectory: localPath] ifError: []

It ain't pretty but it works.
