This is a permission issue. You need to give permissions on the folder to admin user or create directory as hdfs user

su hdfs
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/d

(or)

su hdfs
hdfs dfs -chown admin:admin /user/d

.

If you are using a kerberized environment, you should do a kinit with hdfs keytab and then run the above commands

kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.headless.keytab {user-principal}

.
