Also, make sure that you have the correct permissions to upload once you have created the directory.

@Marion I think you're right and this should resolve that error. On the other hand I always wondered why Craft is able to dynamically create sub-folders for assets but the source's root folder has to be created manually.

@carlcs I assume it's because the root folder can be Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage etc., and maybe some of those are not so easy to create.
