Cannot launch image with a mapped data directory.

[jimklo]

My complete script to reproduce is here: https://gist.github.com/c10bc18fbebc77cb00e1

When using the -v /data/path/to/mysql:/var/lib/mysql, I'm getting the following error shown below using Kitematic's docker shell. Omitting the -v argument permits the image to run. Not sure how to use this image with an externally mapped data directory.
