That's a relic of a bug in 2.0b5_ma3 or earlier version which called
mkdir for local.groups as well, and which now appeared after the test
was changed from -e to -f. test -e says "true" for just about anything,
while test -f return 0 (true) only for regular files, not directories or
something. The actual bug has already been fixed in _ma4, however, I did
not bother to add cleanups to the Makefile or something else, we're in
beta ;-)
