upload location

Hi, i'm struggling with the upload_location. Let me explain what I want to do; I have a set of photos on a USB that is shared off a different Windows box. This mount is working and I have imported all the content scanning external libraries.
However, I want to also use the app to upload all content on my phone to the same USB mount, different folder which is not part of the above scan.
I want all 'immich' type files/folders to remain on the immich server, default location is fine, and all my uploaded images only to be exported to the USB upload share.
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/upload/
THUMB_LOCATION=./library/thumbs
ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION=./library/encoded-video
PROFILE_LOCATION=./library/profile
BACKUP_LOCATION=./library/backups

volumes:
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
- /mnt/originals:/mnt/originals:ro
- /mnt/upload:/mnt/upload

ERROR [Microservices:StorageService] Failed to read upload/encoded-video/.immich: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'upload/encoded-video/.immich'

But I have set the encoded video to be ./library not the upload mount, so why is this failing?
Many thanks
Pete
