Isn't this the default when you create a new directoy in Windows? (unless you're
creating it in some location where access is restricted, for instance C:\ or c:\program
files).  I'd try os.mkdir first in any case and check if it does the job.

Sorry, can't help you with this. I guess you'll need to use the windows extensions for
Python here and deal with user accounts and ACL's.
