+Hi,
+
+I've a script which generates .rss files which reference local files with the file:// scheme. I can import the file:// urls with git annex addurl, but it fails with git annex importfeed:
+
+
+`$ git annex importfeed --fast file:///path/to/local/rss/file.rss`
+
+`(checking known urls...)`
+
+`importfeed file:///path/to/local/rss/file.rss`
+
+`git-annex: /tmp/feed6757: openFile: resource busy (file is locked)`
+
+If I try to import it with `$ git annex importfeed --fast /path/to/local/rss/file.rss` I get
+`importfeed /home/mac/rss/Gotham.rss `
+
+`  warning: bad feed content`
+
+`ok`
+
+But the directory stays empty.
+
+
+Is it possible to use local files in rss format with items which reference local files using the file:// scheme as input for importfeed?
+
+Cheers,
+Marco
