Root can't create directory in /media? permission denied [SOLVED]

I have two folders in /media that I created previously, /media/usb1 and /media/usb2. Tried to create a 3rd folder today and I'm getting permission denied, using both sudo and then logged in as root.

[root@pineapple media]# mkdir /media/iphone
mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/iphone': Permission denied

[root@pineapple /]# ls -l /
total 73
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Apr 30 12:59 bin
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  1024 Apr 28 19:49 boot
drwxr-xr-x  17 root root  5280 Apr 29 22:21 dev
drwxr-xr-x  52 root root  4096 Apr 30 13:01 etc
drwxr-xr-x   5 root root  4096 Apr 28 20:25 home
drwxr-xr-x   9 root root  4096 Apr 30 12:59 lib
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Mar 26 17:33 lib64
drwx------   2 root root 16384 Apr 28 19:39 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root     0 Apr 29 22:21 media

nevermind, I'm an idiot...Autofs is creating these entries from /etc/autofs/auto.media...
