I was attempting to use mssh earlier to connect to a machine and thinking I was using the correct command.

jfreeland@foo : ~ > mssh -r us-west-2 -i i-00000
Warning: Identity file ec2-user@w.x.y.z not accessible: No such file or directory.

It took me a couple minutes to realize I didn't need to pass a -i flag, and I was able to connect fine after removing it, but it seems like mssh should have barked about this.
