Ick, really? What are you trying to do with "raw" kobjects?

Are you sure? Odds are you really did create a kobject with that name,
but note, the name will have '/' characters in it :)
If you want a kobject in a specific directory, you have to give it the
parent kobject directory directly, you can not give a "path" to the
kobject name, sorry, that's not how it works.
The kobject documentation should help you out here, have you read it?
good luck!
