What's the "-vv" for? OMM I get:

mkdir: illegal option -- v
usage: mkdir [-p] [-m mode] dirname ...

Very odd. It wasn't a typo and it does work here, but now I do man mkdir I can't see that option, so goodness knows where I got it from. Try it with -v but note the proviso:

COMPATIBILITY
The -v option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
