I get this error in my Drupal Status Report. (Notice how it wants me to put the installation 3 shadbowbox directories deep) I have tried to put it in modules/shadowbox and modules/shadowbox/shadowbox, It always wants me to make the directory one more level deep. 

Shadowbox	Install 3rd party Shadowbox software
In order for the Shadowbox module to work correctly, the Shadowbox 2.0 Full distribution must exists at modules/shadowbox/shadowbox/shadowbox.

This is a fresh drupal install + ubercart + latest shadowbox. any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to use this module :)

Shadowbox is a 3rd party script. Google "shadowbox" download the full version, unpack it, rename the directory to "shadowbox" and stick it in your modules folder.

The module is looking for this distribution inside your module's folder - so it will always be one more level deep.

Are you still using 6.x-2.0? Can you try upgrading to 6.x-2.1? Any more info on this?

I am having the same problem, new drupal install, wget to modules folder, tar zxf shadowbox-6.x-2.1.tar.gz, shadowbox folder is created but it is always looking for the distribution in the next subdirectory.

Here is the directory structure that I currently have:
# ls -R sites/all/modules/shadowbox
sites/all/modules/shadowbox:
./ CHANGELOG.txt LICENSE.txt shadowbox.info shadowbox.js shadowbox_auto.js
../ INSTALL.txt README.txt shadowbox.install shadowbox.module

Sorry, please ignore the above comment. My friend posted it without realizing he was logged in as me.

I'm moving shadowbox out into sites/all/plugins/shadowbox. This seems like a much better location for it.

I will add a field to allow this to be changed in the settings.
