Hi,
Refer:

details.
I fell we're hijacking the thread with this. Even if jodconverter will create your profile directory you still need to update the office importer management app which requires an directory path to connect. You only get to call jodconverter while importing, and obviously after the connection is made. But you can't connect to the server without the folder in the first place.
Jodconverter will try to figure out the openoffice installation dir automatically. But this is not very accurate, and I have metioned this on the doc: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication "Default values for *homePath* and *profilePath* configuration options will be calculated based on your operating environment. Even though this is the case, this calculation might not yield accurate results for some systems. So it's a good idea to configure these values manually by editing the xwiki.properties file." - Asiri
