+I'm more interested in fixing core problems, like why it was not able to find git-annex-shell, than in fixing bugs in the web UI that follow on from those problems. 
+
+When you're using the standalone tarball, it's supposed to set up `~/.ssh/git-annex-shell` to point to wherever you've unpacked the tarball. The assistant does this the first time you run it, and any time it sees the file is out of date.
+I've tested this, and it appears to be working ok. I don't understand what happened in your case to prevent this from happening.
