Hi  
Can you create any file or dir?  
I ask that because you may have reached the inode limit

> Your control panel shows an inode counter that tracks how many files and folders you have on your hosting account. If you’re seeing high inode usage or approaching the limit, don’t panic. Most websites use many inodes, and this is completely normal. Should I be worried about my inode usage? For most websites, high inode usage is expected and not a problem: Normal usage: 40-60% of your inode limit is typical for websites with WordPress, plugins, themes, or multiple sites. Large software install…

and check CHMOD for this dir (never go below 600)
