I am trying to create user on OS X El Capitan with admin priviliges from super-user mode.
After running /sbin/fsck -fy and /sbin/mount -uw / and launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist everything works. But after dscl . -create/Users/USERNAME i got error no such file or directory. I tried it even with SIP disabled but it doesn't work too. Thanks for the help.

In El Capitan, the mounts have been changed so that not even root can edit files in some mounts...ACL changes.
The feature is called SIP and is explained in other stack exchange posts:
essentially, can boot into recovery mode, type csrutil disable, boot back into default user mode, make changes, then presumably, you might want to re-enable csrutil similarly.

Thanks for the reply, but SIP had no effect.
I finally solved it. The problem was
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plistthat was used in 10.6 and earlier, I was using/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plistThedsclcommands were executed despite the error with plist and user got created.
