the two be different, I don't see why it should be our job to enforce
the real UID. Also, why the heck do we call the mkdir executable
rather than the library function in this case?? If we do want to
call the mkdir executable, we should at least be giving it -p (and
change the single chmod() call below) so it can successfully create
nested directories like the above code can.
