Just be careful no not have PATH set to a relative directory (E does
not know where you were when you called the action), I'm using the
following script:
#!/bin/sh
dir=`dirname "$1"`
file=`basename "$1"`
if [ "$dir" = "." ]; then
dir="$PWD"
elif [ "$dir" = ".." ]; then
dir="$PWD/.."
fi
enlightenment_remote -exec-action "fileman" "$dir/$file"
