That Automator action already creates a series of sub-subfolders - it's actually just calling the shell command mkdir to do the actual work. It passes in the first two parts as the first arguments ( $1 and $2 ), and then creates a series of sub directories below that - for example, the 'Outputs' directory is a one subdirectory, and there are subdirectories below that such as 'Final Deliverables', 'Final Deliverables/ProRes', etc.


What am I missing?
