Does anyone know if I can save a RDD as a text file to a pre-created directory 
in S3 bucket?

I have a directory created in S3 bucket: //nexgen-software/dev

When I tried to save a RDD as text file in this directory:
rdd.saveAsTextFile("s3n://nexgen-software/dev/output");


I got following exception at runtime:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3.S3Exception: 
org.jets3t.service.S3ServiceException: S3 HEAD request failed for '/dev' - 
ResponseCode=403, ResponseMessage=Forbidden


I have verified /dev has write permission. However, if I grant the bucket 
//nexgen-software write permission, I don't get exception. But the output is 
not created under dev. Rather, a different /dev/output directory is created 
directory in the bucket (//nexgen-software). Is this how saveAsTextFile 
behalves in S3? Is there anyway I can have output created under a pre-defied 
directory.


Thanks in advance.
