[ROOT] amendment to dir puzzle

The directory creation schemes are very confusing to me.  I'm trying to create a subdirectory from the root directory (root as in top-level) and then another subdirectory underneath the former.  The problem is that I always seem to be creating directories immediately under the root directory.  Could someone please tell me how to do this correctly?

  TFile* f = new TFile("c:\\compression1.root","UPDATE","TestFile");

 gDirectory->pwd();
 f->mkdir("somefiles"); 
 f->cd("somefiles");
 f->mkdir("morefiles");
 gDirectory->pwd();
 f->cd("morefiles");
 gDirectory->pwd();

Here's the output:

c:\compression1.root:/
c:\compression1.root:/somefiles
c:\compression1.root:/morefiles

Thanks bunches!
