Trying to figure out possible causes of this exception

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: File does

        at reporting.HDFSMapReduceQuery.execute(HDFSMetricsQuery.scala:60)

My job config contains the following:

    println("using input path: " + inPath)
    println("using output path: " + outPath)
    FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, inPath);
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, outPath)

with input & output paths printed out as:

using input path: hdfs:/test-batchEventLog
using output path:
hdfs:/test-batchEventLog/out/03d24392-9bd9-4b23-8240-aceb54b3473c

Any ideas why this would be occurring?

Thanks,
