Fix issue #43 - race condition in directory creation #57

Closed herebebeasties closed 7 years ago

The "Not sure this is even possible" is wrong. Someone else can obviously come along in another thread and create the directory underneath you. If you're doing multi-threaded copy operations then this is actually quite likely; one of our apps is running into this all the time.

You are of course correct. Apologies for not getting to this sooner. Thanks for the pull request. Looks exactly how I would have fixed it!
