The mkdir function provided by (admittedly my) mingw platform lacks the mode parameter. This part in the FileUtils.hpp file is conditionally compiled. When compiling in Visual Studio (defined(_MSC_VER)==true) another function_mkdir without the mode parameter is called. In Mingw the function is called mkdir.
