It does?

Have you tried it with the full path?

mkdir( "C:\\folder1" );
mkdir( "C:\\folder1\\folder2" );
mkdir( "C:\\folder1\\folder2\\folder3" );

Same should work on network..
mkdir( "\\\\networkpc\\folder1" );
mkdir( "\\\\networkpc\\folder1\\folder2" );

I don't remember if mkdir will self-recurse to instantly make multiple
level directories.  You might try it.
