Hi Thiago.  I imagine it's a permissions problem.  /usr/local is
normally only writeable as root and you're probably running the script
as a normal user.

Does a plain 'mkdir -p /usr/local/xtools' work?  If not, try something like
 sudo mkdir /usr/local/xtools
 chown tpfslima:tpfslima /usr/local/xtools (or whatever your username is)

and test it by running
 touch /usr/local/xtools/itworked
