I haven't tested with the very latest release, but ...
If you define an FFS sync between D:\Test (left) and Z:\Test (right),
and D:\Test and Z:\ exist, but Z:\Test does not (yet) exist
and you run a Compare FFS shows a popup window telling/asking:
The following folders do not yet exist:
Z:\Test
The folders are created automatically when needed.
With a checkbox not to show the warning again
and an Ignore and Cancel button.
So FFS does create not yet existing sync locations.

This may however not work in FFS batch files (*.ffs_batch).
Which would make perfect sense to me.
