Hi jimbo.

mediagoblin.ini includes a configuration directive for "local_templates" which 
by default points to %(data_basedir)s/templates/.

%(data_basedir) is also configured in mediagoblin.ini. In my case, I have the 
following configuration.

mediagoblin.ini:
data_basedir = "/var/lib/mediagoblin"
local_templates = %(data_basedir)s/templates/
[[mediagoblin.plugins.flatpagesfile]]
about-view = '/about', about.html

My about page is located on my filesystem at 
/var/lib/mediagoblin/templates/flatpagesfile/about.html

If your data_basedir configured for %(here)s/user_dev then your files should be 
located at /path/to/mediagoblin/user_dev/templates/flatpagesfile/

Hope this helps,
