It does now.  It did not when I first ran the command, however
I just created the directory /passwd/passwords
and re ran the command as root, and still no luck.
 
I think you only need to create the directory /passwd, then use 'touch' to create the file, passwords 


Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies. Learn how.
