more importantly,
if allowcache then
          Result:=DirCache.DirectoryExists(hs)
        else
          Result:=SysUtils.DirectoryExists(hs);

SysUtils.DirectoryExists(hs) returns false too.


so I'm back at rtl/unix/sysutils

Function DirectoryExists (Const Directory : String) : Boolean;

Var Info : Stat;

begin
  DirectoryExists:=(fpstat(pointer(Directory),Info)>=0) and
fpS_ISDIR(Info.st_mode);
end;
