I am trying to create a specific directory on boot up and/or when the functions are called. it is creating the first folder structure 'log#x'
and then MISSING the second layer 'diveProfilex'
I want to create like the following >> /LOG#1/diveProfile1/dive0.txt
if there is repeat call to logProfileNameAllocation() it should create dive1.txt dive2.txt etc etc in the same directory
if there is a call to void instantiateLogNum() it should create a new log i.e LOG#2 and dive name reset. i.e /LOG#2/diveProfile1/dive0.txt
Any ideas? see code below. have inserted in the top here where its not working.. full code below.
SD.mkdir(liveDirectory);
Serial.println(liveDirectory);
// it prints live directory .. does not create and then fails at this point..
if(SD.mkdir(liveDirectory)){
Serial.print("Directory Created: ");
Serial.print(liveDirectory);
}

or for start as.. why can i not create a second layer sub directory .. in my case im using: SD.mkdir(liveDirectory);
