Using AutoSPInstaller and SharePoint 2013 on a Windows 2008 R2.
When you choose to put index in a non default location i.e. D:\SharePointIndex the above error occurs.
I've looked into it and when not using default "-rootdirectory" WSS_WPG group don't get correct permissions on
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\Applications.
It should have "Full Control"

Manoj,
The "issue" is that currently SP 2013 search will only work if the search index is set to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\Applications AND the script is changed to to /GRANT:WSS_WPG,FULL
However, I did find a script written by Ivan Josipovic that I used to move the Search Index after the fact:

vladimirm, I rolled my machine back and re-ran the script for each of those 5 tests.
