In trying to create coldToFrozenDir, has anyone seen the following "load IndexConfig" error?

[sreejith2k2]

I am trying to create coldToFrozenDir on one of my network indexes. I am trying to do this in the Development environment before going to production environment.

[volume:frozen]
path = /opt/frozen/network

[network]
homePath = volume:primary/network/db
coldPath = volume:primary/network/colddb
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/network/thaweddb
coldToFrozenDir = volume:frozen/network/frozendb
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 55000
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 7776000

But, I am getting the following error —

Problem parsing indexes.conf: Cannot load IndexConfig: Cannot create index 'network':path of coldToFrozenDir must be absolute ('volume:frozen/network/frozendb')
Validating databases (splunkd validatedb) failed with code '1'. If you cannot resolve the issue(s) above after consulting documentation, please file a case online at   http://www.splunk.com/page/submit_issue

I've have even tried specifying path with no luck -

coldToFrozenDir = /opt/frozen/network

I am getting the same error. It's on the same file system

Does the splunk user has sufficient permissions to create a directory at that location?

yes he has.. I have cross checked it.. Also I re-ran chown command as well.
