In your emacs config, you need to set that org-directory variable so 
that org mode knows where to get/send the files.

See http://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-up-the-staging-area.html

For instance:

(setq org-mobile-directory "/scp:yoursever.org:orgmode/")

You've set the "org mobile directory": please check whether that ended 
up as 'org-mobile-directory' in your emacs config. Perhaps you only set 
it once and didn't save the settings?

Another point: sure that the "http://" of yours is writable?  I'd rather 
expect ftp or https or scp instead of plain http.
