Could this same code be run concurrently by two threads/users? One thread
could be int he process of creating the Dir when another does it's
dirExists() check. You may want to toss a named lock around it to make
sure only one process is messing with the directory at once. I'd use
hash(dirpath) as the name of the lock to make it a clean unique URL with no
special characters..
