   I cannot reproduce this. When given a name which doesn't exist yet GetComponents creates that directory for me. When that name is something else than a directory I get a lot of error messages about not being able to change into that directory (which could be improved), but nothing seriously goes wrong.

   I agree with Frank that I cannot reproduce this. However error handling in this case should actually detect this and abort much earlier. The attached patch tests for $ROOT being a folder (if it exists at all) as early as possible and aborts with an error if this is not the case.

   Updated the patch with fixed spelling. Does what it should do. Go ahead and push.
