Docker container OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: while reading files on a mac os

I'm trying to run a python script inside a docker container. The version is

 Cloud integration: 1.0.4

And I'm trying to read around 99k files from a directory using this function

import os
  
# Prepare a list of file names
corpus_path = 'data/cnn/'
corpus_filenames = []
i = 0
limit = 10000
for entry in os.scandir('data/cnn'):
    if not entry.name.startswith('.') and entry.is_file():
        print(entry)
        if limit is not None:
            if i >= limit:
                break
        corpus_filenames.append(os.path.join(corpus_path, entry.name))
        i += 1
# What did we find?
N_files = len(corpus_filenames)
print(N_files)

And I'm getting the error

    for entry in os.scandir(corpus_path):
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: 'data/cnn/'

This error occurs only inside the docker container. But if i run this script outside it doesn't show any error and simply reads the files from the directory.

Also here's the Dockefile

PLEASE HELP! I have been trying to fix this for a while!!!

EDIT: Seems like my docker is not able to mount local directories correctly. My docker run script looks like this.

docker run -i -t \
            --entrypoint /bin/bash \
            --net="host" \
            --name=$CONTAINER_NAME \
            -v $PWD:/home/sophia/project \
            -v $PWD/../logs:/home/sophia/logs \
            -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa \
            -e GEMFURY_TOKEN=$GEMFURY_TOKEN \
            $USER_NAME/$IMAGE_NAME:$VERSION
        ;;
