Oops.  Yes, indeed.  It seems to perform lots of operations on the parent directories, though. Here's an example (I have sage, but not texlive, under /usr/local):

Oct 17 07:29:41 localhost OSInstaller[410]: WARNING : ensureParentPathExists: Created  `/Volumes/ealdrovHD/usr/local/sage/local/lib' w/ {

            };
            NSFileExtensionHidden = 0;
            NSFileGroupOwnerAccountID = 20;
            NSFileGroupOwnerAccountName = staff;

            NSFilePosixPermissions = 493;

            NSFileSize = 8228;
            NSFileSystemFileNumber = 7208267;
            NSFileSystemNumber = 16777220;
            NSFileType = NSFileTypeDirectory;
        }

and then on and on.
