It appears to be trying to create the container which isn't allowed with a container based sas.

This is an easy fix though - we know we have a container already if we are using a SAS URL limited to a container so no need to create the container.

I've merged a fix to [the latest beta](https://beta.rclone.org) - can you give that a go?
