What do you mean by 'generate a new one'?  Are you auto-generating
your templates in some way?  Usually templates are edited by hand and
the file_cache only refreshes when the mtime on the file changes due
to an edit.

Huh, that's odd.  I'm passing that mode as the second arg to mkdir().
That should work.  Are you sure you didn't create the directory
yourself?
