Accessing /data in Dockerfile still broken?

I was in the process of updating my setup to use the /data folder for persistent storage. I’ve successfully been able to do a local push up until the container is started when I get an error. Here’s the output:

$ sudo resin local push resin.local

Here is the Dockerfile:

# base-image for node on any machine using a template variable,
# see more about dockerfile templates here: http://docs.resin.io/deployment/docker-templates/
# and about resin base images here: http://docs.resin.io/runtime/resin-base-images/

Looks like the data folder is indeed not accessible. I just copied everything to my home directory and then my CMD is a bash script that copies to the /data/ directory and runs homebridge with the --user-storage-path

The bash script looks like:

#!/bin/bash

echo Makding directory
mkdir -p /data/homebridge/

echo Copying files
cp /root/.homebridge/config.json /data/homebridge/

echo Starting homebridge
homebridge --user-storage-path /data/homebridge/
