Recursive: mkdir -p a/b/c/d/e/f/g/ fails? #65

I guess the recursive monitoring of changes this mkdir -p a/b/c/d/e/f/g/ fails, since there is a race condition.

AFAIK this race condition exists always and there is not way to work around this issue in python.

If this is true, it would be nice, if you could note this in the README.
