autorestic can't properly initialize local restic hdd repo

[sokoow]

Describe the bug
with a following config:

version: 2

global:
  forget:
    keep-last: 5 # always keep at least 5 snapshots

locations:
  home-desktop:
    from: /home/mint/Desktop
    to: hdd

  home-documents:
    from: /home/mint/Documents
    to: hdd

backends:
  hdd:
    type: local
    path: /mnt/Elements/backup-t470
    key: 'longpassword123'               

I get:

$ autorestic check -c /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.yaml -v
Using config: 	 /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.yaml
Using lock:	 /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.lock.yml
> Executing: /usr/bin/restic check
Initializing backend "hdd"...
> Executing: /usr/bin/restic init
Error: exit status 1

$autorestic backup -c /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.yaml -av
Using config: 	 /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.yaml
Using lock:	 /media/mint/Elements/autorestic/.autorestic.lock.yml


    Backing up location "home-desktop"    

Backend: hdd
> Executing: /usr/bin/restic backup --tag ar:location:home-desktop /home/mint/Desktop
Fatal: wrong password or no key found

home-desktop@hdd:
Fatal: wrong password or no key found
exit status 1

Expected behavior
I'd expect for autorestic to be able to properly initialize restic repo and do a backup to it.

Environment

• OS: mint 21
• Versions:
  autorestic - latest
  restic: 0.15.1

for some reason it didn't like ntfs that the repo is being put on - fixed by migrating to ext4
