GCP ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not create directory

I am trying to install Datalab on a GCP Compute Engine and running the following:

username@project_id:/home$ datalab create test--zone us-central1-c

Creating the network datalab-network

Creating the firewall rule datalab-network-allow-ssh

Creating the disk test-pd

Creating the repository datalab-notebooks

Creating the instance test

Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project_id/zones/us-central1-c/instances/test].

Connecting to test.

This will create an SSH tunnel and may prompt you to create an rsa key pair. To manage these keys, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys

Waiting for Datalab to be reachable at http://localhost:8081/

This tool needs to create the directory [/home/username/.ssh] before being able to generate SSH keys.

Do you want to continue (Y/n)? Y

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not create directory [/home/username/.ssh]: Permission denied.

Please verify that you have permissions to write to the parent directory. Connection broken

Anything above you see that is in bold was changed by me for the purpose of this post. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to resolve the error?

I deleted everything and started over about 5 times. After the 6th time it started working. Not exactly sure why, but it is no longer an issue for me.
