manually ssh'ing into the server I can create directories, using cap it says permission denied

[Gitted]

Hi,

I am logging in with a user who is part of the admin group, and I set the user up so they don't have to enter the password when in sudo mode.

If I login to the server using ssh I am able to create a director like:

/u/apps

When I run cap, I get this error:

>>bundle exec cap production deploy:check

mkdir: 

cannot create directory ‘/u/apps’

: Permission denied

My deploy_to is:

set :deploy_to, '/u/apps/blogtest'

I tried adding this also but it didn't help:

set :use_sudo, true

set :user, 'ubuntu'

Any ideas?
