Adding to what jibel said above, it seems sequence of test is playing a role in failure. So when executing the individual test test_cut_directory in a loop for several time, it passes but when executing multiple tests and test_cut_directory is not the firs one then it could fail while manually doing the same is not reproducing the issue. So this could be the problem with the tool or the way test is written. Tests execution sequence should not play any role in pass or failure unless sequence of action itself is being tested in which case the entire sequence should be tested in one test.
