Hi, I'm having difficulties with the Tool Shed. I've got a freshly installed setup of galaxy-dist to run the community from and I'm trying to Upload files to a repository but getting an error when I do. My user requires the "NGS: QC and manipulation" section of tools as well as others and so I'm trying to import these into a local Tool Shed. I have therefore downloaded the tar.gz file from the public Galaxy Tool Shed, of the repository of the first tool listed within "NGS: QC and manipulation", the FASTQ Groomer, which is "sharplabtool" from http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/view_repository?id=ecc93bc8f0382e9e&changeset_revision=c2a356708570 Every time I attempt to do this upload, I have the following Server Error reported: ### Module paste.exceptions.errormiddleware:143 in __call__

Can anyone help me as to why this happens and how I fix it? Any alternative suggestions as to how I can clone repo's from one Tool Shed to another would also be appreciated.
