Thanks for investigating.

Having empty directories under /var in an install tar ball doesn't seem
the right soloution. We could fix it in install.sh, but by far the best
soloution would be to create the directories from within xend. Let's
catch the exception from listdir and create the directory.

Best,
Ian
