Did you check your read/write settings for /mount/backups dir? They should be writable by the user which runs elasticsearch.
If still not working, could you try create /mount/backups/my_backup and gives privileges to elasticsearch user?

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???
