Usage:
       samadmin autodest create location <--requiredOptions> [--options] [-flags]

Where:

  --requiredOptions:
	          --fileFamily=<value> # new fileFamily value to be assigned to this directory
	     --fileFamilyWidth=<value> # new fileFamilyWidth to be assigned to this directory
	   --fileFamilyWrapper=<value> # new fileFamilyWrapper to be assigned to this directory
	             --library=<value> # new library to be assigned to this directory
	                --path=<value> # pnfs directory path to be created

  --options:
	             --connect=<value> # oracle username/password for connecting to this database
	    --corbaCallTimeout=<value> # time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
	       --retryInterval=<value> # retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
	         --retryJitter=<value> # retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
	       --retryMaxCount=<value> # number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)

   -flags:
	                            -c # automatically close all servants after each method call
