When a group creation call gets a name containing slashes, this name should be interpreted as a path relative to the given location.
Intermediate groups may be created if specified in the lcpl.
However this is not how julea-db behaves as it just creates a group with slashes in its name:

Edit: In contrast that what happens with native HDF5:
$ h5dump somefile.h5
HDF5 "somefile.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
GROUP "path" {
GROUP "to" {
GROUP "group" {
}
}
}
}
}
