vtcmd fails if log directory doesn't exist

[kdaily]

On first time installation, no directory at ${HOME}/NDAValidationResults/ exists to create a log file.

(nda-python3) [kdaily@tigger nda-tools]$ vtcmd -h

I got the same error....however

sudo mkdir /home/ubuntu/NDAValidationResults
sudo chmod 777 /home/ubuntu/NDAValidationResults/

gets past the error, it's dirty, but working.

The latest update to NDATools addresses this issue. @PatrickJReed, @kdaily, or @cw-dvr8 if you pip uninstall and remove the NDAValidationResults directory, then re-install and attempt to run one of the command-line scripts it should automatically create the directory now and the FileNotFoundError should no longer occur.

following the reinstall...

vtcmd -h

@PatrickJReed I introduced a bug in trying to fix the other one. We just released an updated version that addresses the issue. Tested locally on python2.7 and python3.6 with fresh installation (including removing the ~/.NDATools directory).

Please let me know if you continue to see an error with the latest version.
