This is generally the reason that you need something like puppet, that you want
to enforce a configuration.
If you need to detect things about a server, there are a number of things you
can do:
a) monitoring (snmp?) check invoking a custom script, script detects the dir
b) use something like mcollective to check in real time whether the dir exists
c) ssh in and use ls
The usual point also, that you should stop asking your servers how they are and
tell them how they should be. Declare, don't inquire.
