CIFS Share Create Error

I am getting an odd error when attempting to create a CIFS share (ONTAP 9.8P3) on a RO DP volume.  Here is the command/error message:

xxx-clst-01::> cifs share create -vserver xxx-prod-nas01 -share-name VARONIS_jobs$ -path /tg/jobs

Error: command failed: The specified path "/tg/jobs" cannot be used. Reason: This is not a valid file-type for CIFS share.

When looking at the path properties I see this:

xxx-clst-01::> vserver security file-directory show -path /tg/jobs -vserver xxx-prod-nas01

                Vserver: xxx-prod-nas01

              File Path: /tg/jobs

      File Inode Number: 97

I can create the CIFS share using -path /tg without any issues.

Any clues as to why a CIFS share can’t be created at path /tg/jobs?
