Unity Catalog Volume as spark checkpoint location

Hi,

I tried to set the spark checkpoint location in a notebook to a folder in a Unity Catalog Volume, with the following command: 

sc.setCheckpointDir("/Volumes/catalog_name/schema_name/volume_name/folder_name")

Unfortunately I receive the following error: "Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o356.setCheckpointDir. : java.io.IOException: Operation not permitted".

My user have all privileges granted on the volume.

Did anyone face the same issue? Is it possible to use Databricks volumes as storage location for checkpoints?
