RE: How do I create a directory in C that will follow selinux file context rules?

What I don't understand is why the filetrans doesn't work in the first place?
 
In my policy I define:
 
filetrans_pattern(vasd_t, vasd_var_t, vasd_var_auth_t, dir )
 
But when my binary that runs under the vasd_t domain as an unconfined user creates a directory in /var/opt/quest/vas/ called vasd it gets created as a vasd_var_t.
 
The parent directory of /var/opt/quest/vas is labeled as vasd_var_t.  Shouldn't the above filetrans_pattern label all new directories under /var/opt/quest/vas as vasd_var_auth_t when they are being created under the vasd_t domain?
