I tried that, and it printed out the directories that its suppose to create: 
mkdir S000471M37
mkdir S000471M37/20020206-091042
mkdir S000471M37/20020206-091042/268
could not rename 1.2.124.113532.172.16.48.200.20010514.120225.267932/1
+.2.840.113619.2.80.2162541498.1619.1046210641.2/1.2.840.113619.2.80.2
+162541498.1619.1046210641.3.dcm to S000471M37/20020206-091042/268/S00
+0471M37-20020206-091042-268-1.dcm: Is a directory

[download]
but after the program dies 
ls -R S000471M37/
S000471M37/:

It only likes to create the first level directory.
