Looking at the publically available parts of SunSolve there are at least
bug reports about it.

I don't have a copy of the POSIX standard that covers mkdir(2) to
see what it has to say about it.  Historically however EACCES on
search failure,  EEXIST if the file/directory exists, then EACCES on
parent directory write permissions was the error determination order.
