Hmm, doesn't make sense that it could be disappearing in the middle and
still have other stuff inside.  So that suggests that something is wrong
with the file-attributes function.  Does (file-attributes
"/tmp/emacs1000") consistently give you nil if you evaluate it multiple
times?  What about (file-exists-p "/tmp/emacs1000")?  (file-directory-p
"/tmp/emacs1000")?
