  I think you meant to write:

if [ ! -d /var/run/barman ]; then mkdir -p /var/run/barman; fi


[...]

  I would prefer such a solution,  as it would take away the check for
the presence of /var/run/barman every darn minute.

/etc/rc.local would be a place I'd think to put the directory creation,
too, as it's unlikely that a minute passes between cron startup and it's
execution.  But putting an ad hoc script is the best thing.
