I doubt it. You shouldn't really do this:
kmlpath = "%s/%s" % (basepath, game_id)
but do this:
kmlpath = os.path.join(basepath, game_id)
as different OS's have different path formats. Or perhaps it is the
kml string that you are creating that has other issues (unicode?) I
would print out the mkdirs string to see what you are creating.
