Hello Scott,

Thanks for the helpful reply! Adding"AllowEncodedSlashes On" did allow me
to access the Data Manager tools. However, the Apache documentation has the
following note, "If encoded slashes are needed in path info, use of
NoDecode is strongly recommended as a security measure. Allowing slashes to
be decoded could potentially allow unsafe paths." So this probably isn't a
good long-term solution.

thanks,
-Will
