Re: Intermittent Incorrect Result on System.IO.Directory.Exists

I suspect that this is the same thing you had before, namely that a
directory was being deleted, but not all file handles against the
directory had been closed yet. In that case, the remove-directory is
queued and will execute when the last handle is closed. If during that
queued-delete time, you check if the directory exists it will return
FALSE, but if you try to create the directory it will already exist.

Make sure all your file access streams/handles are properly being
disposed... I recommend a using(Stream file = xxx) { } block.
