> If the output directory is deleted then subsequent tasks should fail. Instead
> they blindly create the missing parent directories, leading the job to be
> "succesful" despite potentially missing almost all of the output. Task
> attempts should fail if the parent app attempt directory is missing when they
> go to create their task attempt directory.
