Thanks, that's what I ended up going with, however, using file mkdir

how about 'xinstall -d'?
Don't the 'file subcommands' commands not shell out? Which is a good
thing to practice.

Shelling out is indeed something to avoid, which is why xinstall is
also a good choice as it doesn't shell out either. xinstall is a
MacPorts built-in command written in C and defined in svn
base/src/pextlib1.0/xinstall.{c,h}. File commands and xinstall flags
differ in their handling of extended attributes as documented in
portfile(7), but in the case of creating directories I'd think they're
completely equivalent.
HTH!
