Hello Imre,
you need to provide path there, I would prefer absolute path in there, for an example
/tmp/abc/test/my_test. So if you give
/abc/test/my_testbecause it is a directory not a mount point it will not work though if you give like
abc/test/my_test should work. Please try it out into a test environment or a test directory first and once it is giving expected results then you could run it into the actual environment.
Thanks,
R. Singh
