Pulp

I noticed that I cannot sync with Pulp master as of last week. It seems to be that nothing is creating the required structure under /var/cache/pulp/, but the sync code is assuming that structure has been created. If you do a quick developer install with master pulp and pulp_rpm, and then sync a repo, you will see this:

Steps to reproduce:
1) Check out pulp and pulp_rpm at the latest revision of master
2) Use vagrant to build a development environment (vagrant syncs the zoo repo as the final step)

Expected behavior:
Zoo should sync

Actual behavior:
You will receive the above error in the log and a similar error from the CLI, since /var/cache/pulp/reserved_resource_worker-X@pulp-devel will not exist.

I am not sure if this issue only affects master, or if it is present in 2.7. I haven't heard anybody else talk about it being broken in 2.7 and I believe most of us are working in that branch these days so it may only be broken on master.
