This is normal. You are allowed to create the directory because the directory you are creating it in is owned by the same user id that owns the script calling mkdir(). However, since your web server runs as some other user the owner of the newly created dir will be that user and not your own so you subsequently cannot manipulate that directory. Same problem with safe mode and file uploads. ISP's are generally better off using open_basedir instead of safe-mode for this very reason.
