I would like to test in a script if anything goes wrong creating this directory structure, for this I need to have an error returned. I am unsure if this is a feature request or a bug, but to not break older working methods i suggest adding an option like -pe (process Parents and return Error) to return the errorlevel/message that was generated creating the last directory.
