Since DirectoryExists returns a true/false, you don't need the IS "No"
part of the statement. Also, DirectoryExists expects you to pass it a
variable, so you don't need the quotes and pound signs around
variables.dirpath:
<cfif NOT DirectoryExists(variables.dirpath)>
<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#variables.dirpath#">
</cfif>
