Shouldn't mkdir and chown make together a transaction? When it fails just for first time, it confuses some admins (this is the reason why I'm getting complains (bug reports) just because missing/wrong configuration). I think it a) should work even for first connection (ignore chown failure) or b)it should not work for following connection, so the behavior should be more consistent.
Sounds reasonable, yes. (Not such which one, a or b.) I should probably do something about it, but it's still about how to handle an error condition, so not a hugely important thing.
I think a) is better for lazy admins, but b) is more correct, because other way it's (a little bit) harder to find out this error - having wrong permissions in situations when group is really required.
