Here is code fragment originally posted in context of answer to this question. It should solve your question too despite intention of original question was different. Main point in your code is you have issues starting from scheme (file://). Please check fs.defaultFS variable in your configuration.

package org.myorg;

import java.security.PrivilegedExceptionAction;

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.*;
import org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem;
import org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileStatus;

public class HdfsTest {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        try {
            UserGroupInformation ugi
                = UserGroupInformation.createRemoteUser("hbase");

            ugi.doAs(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Void>() {

                public Void run() throws Exception {

                    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
                    conf.set("fs.defaultFS", "hdfs://1.2.3.4:8020/user/hbase");
                    conf.set("hadoop.job.ugi", "hbase");

                    FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf);

                    fs.createNewFile(new Path("/user/hbase/test"));

                    FileStatus[] status = fs.listStatus(new Path("/user/hbase"));
                    for(int i=0;i<status.length;i++){
                        System.out.println(status[i].getPath());
                    }
                    return null;
                }
            });
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
