What is your umask?  What version of Boost are you using?  The
following code works properly here as a naive implementation of the
"mkdir" command with the latest version of CVS version of Boost:

---
#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>
using namespace boost::filesystem;
int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
        create_directory (argv[i]);
}

% ./mkdir aaa
% ls -FldG aaa
drwxrwxr-x 2 cepstein 4.0K Aug  3 11:10 aaa/
% umask
002
