Maybe it isn't a directory, but a file, what does os.path.exists() return.

Also could it be a "Shortcut" in which case 2011-07-03.lnk will exist.

Also have you left "Hide extensions for known file types" switched on,
in which case it may really be "2011-07-03.zip" for example, a file 
not a directory even though Windows explorer shows it as a directory.
