I tried this hint, and it did not work for me.

I created the empty text file, and Safari seemed to have no qualms creating a new folder, with the exact same name as the text file, right where the old one had been.

So, undaunted, I tried to fool Safari in a different manner... I manually emptied the contents of the cache folder, then hit [command] - i, and under the 'Ownership & Permissions' tab of the get info window, simply changed the folder permissions to read only. Now, Safari can't write to the folder, and I can easily confirm that my trick is still working by peeking inside the folder to make sure it's empty.

Voila!
