  I'm creating the nova-cells config with the cell information stored in
  a json file. However, when I do this nova-cells fails to start with
  this error in the logs:

  I have had a dig into the code and it appears that CellsManager creates an instance of CellStateManager with no arguments. CellStateManager __new__ runs and creates an instance of CellStateManagerFile which runs __new__ and __init__ with cell_state_cls and cells_config_path set. At this point __new__ returns CellStateManagerFile and the new instance's __init__() method is invoked (CellStateManagerFile.__init__) with the original arguments (there weren't any) which then results in the stack trace.

  It seems reasonable for CellStateManagerFile to derive the
  cells_config_path info for itself so I've patched it locally with
