Thanks - that clarifies why I'm not seeing any directories created on the file system.
What I really want to do is the ability to create a directory in the file system so that I can write a file to it with xdmp:save() xdmp:save() works very well as long as the directory already exists - hence the need to create the directory before performing the save operation. It looks like xdmp:filesystem-directory will only give a listing of files within an already existing directory. (not create one) Is there a function to create a directory on the file system?
