+ap-southeast-2 vs ap-southeast-1 must have something to do with this
+problem.
+
+I tried making a S3 remote with datacenter=ap-southeast-2 and it didn't
+have this problem, and used s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com, so doesn't
+seem that git-annex is getting the mapping to endpoints wrong.
+
+I also tried forcing git-annex to use ap-southeast-1 instead of the right
+datacenter, and I don't get a redirect, getting a file just fails in that
+misconfiguration.
+
+So, it seems there is something special about your bucket; git-annex thinks
+it's in ap-southeast-1, S3 apparently redirects to somewhere else. Sounds
+like the AWS interface shows you the bucket is located in ap-southeast-2?
+
+This is looking more like a bug with the haskell-AWS library. If AWS can
+send redirects here, it ought to follow them. It would be really helpful if
+I had a way to reproduce the problem. Since your remote is encrypted
+anyway, is there any chance you could generate AWS creds that I could use
+to access that bucket to try to get files from it?
+
+(The `copy --to cloud` didn't do anything because git-annex already thinks
+the file is there (--force has no effect on copy --to).)
