Hey Hunter, First off welcome to the community. Let me start by asking a couple of debugging questions.
After you run that command, if you run "list" is testtable3 in the list? Also are there are any tables in the list? If there are make sure that none of them are also using the "file:///data/testtable3" location. If they are that may be your problem. If this was a unique name problem then Blur would likely throw a blurexception and fail immediately. But since it's an ioexception my guess is there's another table using that path. Blurexceptions are not tried but any other exceptions are retried a few times which might explain the 15 second delay. For debugging you can run "debug" in the shell to toggle the stack traces on and off. You also might want to take a look at the controller and shard log files found in the $BLUR_HOME/logs directory. Let us know what you find and we can go from there.
