Yes, that is how it works. Nothing is really broken, it's just that
it asks for a path on the server, but expects you to give the full
path as viewed from the local machine, starting with /instmnt/...
The dialog could be worded better, or it could add /instmnt/ to the
front of whatever you enter automatically, but it is no big deal.
