I would suggest being explicit here that "directory exists, but has a
mode other than the one requested" always triggers an exception.
Perhaps something like the following:
"Raises an :exc:`OSError` exception if the target directory already
exists, unless *exist_ok* is True and the existing directory has the
same mode as is specified in the current call. Also raises an
:exc:`OSError` exception if the directory cannot be created for any
other reason."
Georg has already patched that paragraph. I will let him decide if any
further change is needed.
