I don't see how this could work without updating the deployed image. What I mean is that if one deployed instance was able to create the directory or alter any of the files in the deployed image, none of these changes are replicated to other deployed instances.
Perhaps you can script the file system changes you desire and have them pushed out as a deployed new version? You may be able to do that using an automated change/build/test/deploy tool like Cruise.
