Result path not found

I want to create a hotspot report according to the help information

1) Generate the 'hotspots' report for the result directory 'r000hs'.
 
    amplxe-cl -report hotspots -r r000hs

However, I always get the error message

amplxe: Error: Result path `/<basename>/r000hs' does not exist

This does not change if I create the directory /<basename>/r000hs via mkdir beforehand.
