The first thing to note is that the documentation is versioned and released with the broker. You're using the documentation for Artemis 2.0.0 even though your binary is for 2.14.0. Since 2.14.0 is the latest release you can find its documentation here [1] which is always where you can find the documentation for the latest release.
Regarding your actual issue...I just tried the same kind of process with 2.14.0 on my local machine and everything worked fine. Therefore it seems to me like your hitting some kind of environmental issue. What happens if you: > cd /var/lib > mkdir testbroker Does it actually create the directory?
