The owner of the directory is wrong or the permissions on it are
wrong, ie owner does not have write.

Does the user that you're using has write permission on this
directory?
If you are using su, you're allowed to create regardless of the
permission.

When you say su .. are refering to gotRoot? ... the directory you are
trying to create is in the $HOME of the user you are working with ...
or the /home directory ?
