  <p>My permissions and system path were correct; however, I was able to get it working by using an "ending forward slash" where I defined the subfolder path:</p>
  
  <p>e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{slug}/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>instead of</p>
  
  <pre><code>{slug}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Additionally, you will also want to run a "Reindex Assets" operation located in the Admin Settings.</p>

  Two possible suggestions:
  
  1. Are you positive that the **File System Path** of your assets source is correct?
  2. Does your assets source folder have the correct **permissions** which would allow Craft to create a new subfolder?
