Hi Scott,
I've recently hit the exact same problem. Have you had any success since then with resolving this? I did some poking around and made a bit of progress, but still no solution.
The Data Manager page under Run Data Manager Tools contains URLs like this:
Loading that URL results in an attempted load of:
Which results in a 404 error. I believe the escaping of the slashes is accidental, as the they are in the path and not in parameters. Changing the %2F to / as shown here:
results in the URL being found and you get back a bunch of JSON about the tool. I tried looking in the Galaxy code to see if I could quickly determine where the /root controller is, but I wasn't successful. Perhaps this is now enough information that one of the developers might be able to help us.
