I agree:

>On Unix-like systems which use / as the file path separator, the two
items you describe ("dir" and "dir/") are treated as exactly the same
item.


>I may be wrong on this, but I believe that "/" is not allowed as part
of a file name on Linux.

I think you are contradicting what you said before.  

And I disagree with this.  Let me prove it, by showing what I just learned from 
Philip and Paul:

mgaleck@rh5-017205{382}: ls dir/
foobar


My question was not "what to change to make it work".  I know the answer to 
that.   My question was "why doesn't this work, is it a bug or am not 
understanding something".


>If you remove the trailing "/" from the mkdir rule, it should work.
