@nitisht, creating empty directories is supported only in FS mode as per this PR. So this test will fail in XL mode.

@poornas is correct we do not have a way to selectively turn on off certain tests for specific backend only environments, for now i don't think we can fix this for erasure coded backend.

Shall we remove this test then?
