I’ve created a separate directory for bin&relay logs however xtrabackup-v2 is not able to sync/create them on joiner.  
When I disable these options below it works fine, is there a way to exclude this directory (log)?

could it be directory ownership issue? I usually create custom directories with no problem.

I don’t think this is a ownership issue:

It looks like this directory is removed and then SST process is not able to re-create it?!
