Instead of using ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data you give multiple directories with absolute paths.Just try as follows:<property><name>hadoop.data.dir</name><value>/home1/user1/dir1,/home2/user2/dir2</value></property>This will allow HDFS to write data into all specified directories.

If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be stored in all named directories, typically on different devices. Directories that do not exist are ignored.

Add the "dfs.data.dir" property in your hdfs-site.xml and give the "path you want to use for HDFS data storage" as its value. The directory pointed by hadoop.tmp.dir also contains the metadata and some other temporary files, so it's always better to have a dedicated location to store the actual HDFS data.
