Two solutions occur to me.

Elegant, but scary until properly tested:  Add "-p" to the mkdir call in 
dirvish.  I've not looked at the source code, but I suspect there's a 
good chance it won't break anything.

Less elegant, but also less scary:  Run a cron job a midnight (or 
slightly before if worried about race condition, but that makes the 
script a bit less trivial) that creates the base directory for that day 
quick.
