Open the directory to 'everyone', start a large checkout/in and check the
permissions of the temp directory whilst it's still there.  That'll tell
you who is trying to create it.

Setup an interactive shell as SYSTEM (at <now+1 minute> /INTERACTIVE
cmd.exe) then try to change directory/make directory & see if it works.

If DOMAIN is the default domain for the server and it's let you in then it
should have worked.
