Seriously, if you want help you're going to have to put minimal effort into writing a question that we can understand and help you with; including whatever error code you're getting, or what is/isn't happening. – Chris S♦ Dec 28 '10 at 14:46

What is the output of alias ls? It sounds like the folder is being created but you expect it to be hidden when you do a ls. Perhaps your ls is aliased to ls -a?

That syntax works just fine for me on AIX 5.3; why don't you tell us what error you got when you tried? Or, are you sure that you typed ls -a to verify that it was there afterwards? If you just typed ls it won't show because it's hidden.

Please edit your response to fix the spelling and grammar; I have no idea what you're saying. – mfinni Dec 28 '10 at 14:41
