Sheep Shaver Shadow Keep

I am emulating OS 9 on my OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion iMac. It doesn't appear to run correctly although I followed all of the instructions on the E-Maculation Wiki exactly. The problem is, whenever I try to launch an application, it says that the original application couldn't be found and that the disk "MacUltimate" could not be found. I am trying to get Shadow Keep to run on SheepShaver for nostalgic reasons and it isn't working out. I think I need the application Disk Copy in order to mount the ".img" file I get after unarchiving the ".sit" file that comes in the Shadow Keep download. Does anyone know what the issue might be or how I can get Shadow Keep to run properly?

Error When opening "Shadow Keep 2.2.img":

The problem is solved by simply looking at the post before me! How ridiculous is that?

I think the issue is that it seems as if the ".img" file should mount itself upon opening but that is not the case. You can not add an ".img" file to the computer through the shared folder. If you go to the "Preferences" panel, however, you can add the ".img" file as a volume and it will mount to the desktop on startup.

You could reinstall OS 9 or Sheepshaver, or generate a new hard drive image. You are using a hard drive image, right? You can't run applications off a shared disk.

The problem is, the application made by Apple, "Disk Copy 6.3" , needs to be installed separately.
But you found the SheepShaverGUI way already, which also works fine.
If unfavourable, the emulated Mac OS won't read the image the first time, but initialized once, it'll work fine in the future (would lost current files, thought) .
