Apparently the code is trying to find an Athena user named /bin/bash or
something, failing, and falling back to the local version of chsh. I'm
trying to figure out how wrong that is, but at the least, you ought to be
able to run 'chsh' with no arguments.
(If that doesn't work, try 'chsh.moira', but that really shouldn't be
needed.)
