Problem creating mnesia table

[Eric Merritt]

Guys,

 I am having a bit of a problem  creating a  disc_copies  of a mnesia
table. Every time  I try to run the following I  get back a
{aborted,{bad_type,test,disc_copies,nonode@REDACTED}}

However, according to  every example  I can find this is correct.

 Table_def = [{attributes,  Field_list},
		 {disc_copies, [node()]}]

 mnesia:create_table(Name, Table_def)

 

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
