Hello ES community,

I am trying to create a snapshot for ES and I am following the steps at: 
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html
.

Unfortunately the repository creation fails in our environment: Debian 6.0.9

This is what I run:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup' -d '{
    "type": "fs",
    "settings": {
        "location": "/mount/backups/my_backup",
        "compress": true
    }
}'

The Error I get every time: (for info, just in case i restarted ES...)

{"error":"RepositoryException[[my_backup] failed to create repository]; 
nested: CreationException[Guice creation errors:\n\n1) Error injecting 
constructor, org.elasticsearch.common.blobstore.BlobStoreException: Failed 
to create directory at [/mount/backups/my_backup]\n  at 
org.elasticsearch.repositories.fs.FsRepository.<init>(Unknown Source)\n 
 while locating org.elasticsearch.repositories.fs.FsRepository\n  while 
locating org.elasticsearch.repositories.Repository\n\n1 error]; nested: 
BlobStoreException[Failed to create directory at 
[/mount/backups/my_backup]]; ","status":500}

Here is our version of ES:

{
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "Slither",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "1.0.1",
    "build_hash" : "5c03844e1978e5cc924dab2a423dc63ce881c42b",
    "build_timestamp" : "2014-02-25T15:52:53Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.6"
  },

I spent quite a long time trying to find something on the web in all the ES 
threads but without any luck....Am I missing something obvious???

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards

Fred
