I'm still looking through the code, but I've a guess that this is the 
issue.  If it is an mkdir() that fails, skip_dir is set.  The files 
in that directory are then "silently" ignored, at least from a certain 
perspective.

If it is a write that fails, then exit_cleanup(RERR_FILEIO) is called.

Is this a reasonable distinction?  Or should not a failure to create a 
directory cause a result similar to that of a failure to write a file?

Thanks...
