I think you are right. It looks like it recursively trys to make the parent directories and if they already exist then the lastSuccess is still false and the "error" is logged. I will work something up for this.

I am seeing a lot of these kind of messages in the namenode log file. Can somebody point me in the right direction as to why this might be happening?

DIR* FSDirectory.mkdirs: failed to create directory

I have seen these too. I think they just mean that the directory already exists. Probably the message should be changed to indicate this.
