Why wont hibernate create this my table?

I'm getting this error out when attempting to create a table through hibernate. I can include the relevant files if necessary. What is likely the cause, and how can I go about fixing it?

INFO: HHH000227: Running hbm2ddl schema export

<hibernate-mapping package="org.beans">

    <class name="Movie" table="MOVIES">

</hibernate-mapping>

I guess this is the problem:

MOVIE_ID varchar(255) not null auto_increment

Based on this I guess that movieId has a String datatype. Change it to Integer for instance. You can't use auto_increment which is used by the Hibernate generator with varchar datatype.
