  It works if you leave the period out of the index name.  Not sure  why it errors, but if you replace the period with
anunderscore  it'll create.

RTM:
name
       The name of the index to be created. No schema name can be       included here; the index is always created in
thesame schema as       its parent table.

/Docs on "create index" state:

index_name

/     The name of the index to be created. No schema name can be   included here; the index is always created in the
sameschema as its   parent table.
