Remove locale-dependent string checking

We were checking if an exception was caused by a specific reason "Not a
directory". Alas, this reason is locale-dependent and can fail on
systems that are not set to en_US.UTF-8. This commit addresses this by
deriving what the locale-dependent error message would be and using that
for comparison with the actual exception thrown.
