This needs a call to "bb.utils.mkdirhier(depdir)" in order to work properly.

I didn't find the problem until using a higher degree of parallelism where the deploy directory might not actually be there to write out the file.  I'll send a v2 after more tests with the rest of the series.  It was all well tested originally on a single server, extended testing found the problem.
