Summary:                    MONITOR_FILENAME fails if directory doesnt exist.
Description: 
when using Set(MONITOR_FILENAME="/foo/bar/filename") to have queue calls
monitored/recorded, asterisk cannot complete the mixmonitor/recording if
the directory does not exist. This issue really comes into effect when
trying to set the directory structure using ^{MEMBERINTERFACE} as a
directory in the filename path-- since this is not a vairable that is
assigned before the queue call is answered, you cannot simply add a
System() command to create this directory.

This is an Asterisk-wide issue, not limited to a specific operating
system, but for the sake of being complete, my setup is running Asterisk
1.4.26.1 with DADHI Linux 2.2.0.2 on CentOS 5.3

I'm closing this issue as a feature request, because really I wouldn't
expect Asterisk to just start creating directories willy-nilly -- that is
really an administrator issue. Additionally, there is the STAT() function
which you can use to check to see if the directory exists prior to using
it. If it doesn't exist, you can easily create it yourself.
