KohanaPHP » Kohana v3.x » Cache

Hi, I get this error when using a the cache plugin:

ErrorException [ Warning ]: RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/mnt/hgfs/devel/myapp/application/cache/.kohana_cache) [recursivedirectoryiterator.--construct]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory

MODPATH/cache/classes/kohana/cache/file.php [ 84 ]
79         parent::__construct($config);
80 
81         try
82         {
83             $directory = Arr::get($this->_config, 'cache_dir', APPPATH.Cache_File::CACHE_DIR);
84             $this->_cache_dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory);
85         }
86         catch (UnexpectedValueException $e)
87         {
88             if ( ! mkdir($directory, 0777, TRUE))
89             {

(Line 84 is highlighted)

My directory exists, is writable and is empty

[deon@c5t61p application]$ ls -al /mnt/hgfs/devel/myapp/application/cache
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 1 deon 119 4096 Jul 12  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 deon 119 4096 Jul 12  2010 ..

It seems that KH doesnt get to the "create" (the exception/cache processing) which creates the .kohana_cache directory in the cache dir. Manually creating the directory works fine.

I'm using KH 3.0.6.2, and using a call to $cache = Cache::instance('file'); immediately after the cache module has been included/enabled in bootstrap.php.
