I've had problems on systems running off a CDR when the media gets a
film on it over time and the system cannot read the CD any longer.
See if there are any CD read errors in `dmesg' or from syslog.  (this
is why I always set the RUNFROMRAM option)

Or you could run the mkdir command with strace to see where it's
failing.  'strace mkdir /var/...'.
