I think you have to create those folders. Do the following from command line as root user.

su - hdfs 
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/admin
hdfs dfs -chmod 755 /user/admin
hdfs dfs -chown admin:hadoop /user/admin

You have to create the directory. You can use FS view to do that.

Create a local user in ambari called hdfs and use hdfs to login to ambari then using FS view you can create /user/admin and change ownership

or Follow as @bsaini suggested

You missed dfs in your Chmod command

Check your second command, you omitted "dfs".

@niraj nagle Look into the option to create hdfs user in ambari as it will make your life easier.
