+I think I have a similar problem - especially with the drive letters. I don't need any SMB shares, though.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. git init / git annex init on a ext* drive under Linux
+2. git sync it to a FAT32-formatted (USB) drive
+3. git annex init on the USB drive
+4. add each others as remote
+5. git sync each other - works fine
+6. Change into a Windows system
+7. git annex add some files
+8. Change back to a Linux system
+9. git annex sync from the annex repository on USB
+10. git annex sync from the linux-side
+
+now, if I do ls -l:
+
+    $ ls -l
+    lrwxrwxrwx 1 me me 208 Aug 16 18:54 version2.win.txt -> G:/annex2/.git/annex/objects/j1/0J/SHA256E-s846--e46ff540d59e80b419798a53d6d97313a5e04b94f9708168a3d371be1ccd635c.win.txt/SHA256E-s846--e46ff540d59e80b419798a53d6d97313a5e04b94f9708168a3d371be1ccd635c.win.txt
+
+note the g:\, which was the Windows drive letter.
+
+git annex get worked fine for me:
+
+     $ git annex get version2.win.txt
+    get version2.win.txt (from usb...) 
+    version2.win.txt
+                846 100%    0.00kB/s    0:00:00 (xfr#1, to-chk=0/1)
+    (checksum...) ok
+    (recording state in git...)
+
+However, the link is still broken (same ls -l output)
+
+    $ stat version2.win.txt
+      File: 'version2.win.txt' -> 'G:/annex2/.git/annex/objects/j1/0J/SHA256E-s846--e46ff540d59e80b419798a53d6d97313a5e04b94f9708168a3d371be1ccd635c.win.txt/SHA256E-s846--e46ff540d59e80b419798a53d6d97313a5e04b94f9708168a3d371be1ccd635c.win.txt'
