Not sure what's going wrong with your setup, but here's mine.
In my guacd container, you see the mount:
root@guacd:~# mount | grep guac
192.168.112.65:/mnt/data/k8s/guacamole-guacamole-recordings-pvc-bc32b003-0e88-485b-90bc-3cd62184d5a0
on /var/lib/guacamole/recordings type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.112.233,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.112.65)
In my connection profile, I have the parameters:
RECORDING PATH: ${HISTORY_PATH}/${HISTORY_UUID}
RECORDING NAME: 172_Alma 92_${GUAC_DATE}_${GUAC_TIME}
Automatically create recording path: CHECKED
When connecting, you see the "Recording of session ..." in the guacd log:

After the RDP session completes, I see the screen recording in Settings ->
History. The session recording can be played back in the browser. I also
use ffmpeg scripts to export the recordings to mp4 when needed.
If you exec into your docker container and go to the recordings directory,
what do you see? While exec'd into the container, can you write to the
recordings directory? Can you show a guacd log entry when you connect to a
profile with the parameters configured?
Hopefully something here will help.
Thanks, Aaron
