Creating Azure file share using X++

Good afternoon,

I am having an issue creating an Azure file share which has started happening after the upgrade to PU67. Interestingly, this does work as expected on a Dev environment, but not on the tier 2 sandbox.

Code as follows:

            permission = new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop);
            permission.assert();

            //Setting connection
            storageCredentials = new Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Auth.StorageCredentials(vendParameters.bbsAzureStorageAcntName, vendParameters.bbsAzureStorageAcntPw);
            storageAccount = new Microsoft.Azure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, true);
            fileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient();
            fileShare = fileClient.GetShareReference(_agentShareName);

            if (!fileShare.Exists(null, null))
            {
                warning('  Fileshare does not exist, creating...');
                fileShare.CreateIfNotExists(null, null);
                Info('  Fileshare create attempted. Checking...');
                Counter i = 0;
                while (!fileShare.Exists(null, null) && i < 60)
                {
                    sleep(1000);
                    i++;
                }
                if (fileShare.Exists(null, null))
                {
                    Info(strfmt('File share created after %1s',i));
                }
                else {
                    error('Fileshare could not be created');
                }
            }

This code is inside a try...catch block and grabs an exception thrown by the line fileshare.CreateIfNotExists(null, null). I get the "Fileshare does not exist, creating..." warning, and then an exception caught by the catch block:
