Summary: Prevent race condition in os.makedirs

Initial Comment:
makedirs check if a directory exists, and call mkdir to create it. In 
rare cases, the directory might have been created by another 
process or thread in the time passed from the exists() call to the 
mkdir() call.

To prevent this rare race condition, use try: expect: to create the 
directory, then ignore "File exists" errors, which mean the directory 
was there.
