In addition to the good advice provided by Rauf and Mark ... you can not create a direcotry with the CREATE DIRECTORY command in the way you seem to be assuming. CREATE DIRECTORY creates an abstraction in the data dictionary that points to an operating system directory. It never touches the O/S and doesn't care whether a physical directory exists.
