Things to try:

Does the order matter? If you try "bar" then "foo" does "foo" fail?

Does the directory matter?

Is there something called "bar" in the directory already?

What does the created "bar" directory contain? Does it really contain 
only "__init__.py"?

You're testing the script 3 times; on which iteration does it fail?
