+I see that you're using `reinit` .. so are you sure that the UUID you
+reused there or at some other time did not belong to a remote that had
+previously been marked dead?
+
+I mean, reusing UUIDs of dead remotes (or just generally reusing UUIDS at
+all) seems like the most obvious way to shoot yourself in the foot and get
+into something resembling this sitation.
+
+Your transcript seems to show one git-annex info in the ~/mp3 repository
+listing the remotes, and a subsquent git-annex info in the ~/mp3 repository
+not listing the remotes, with no commands in between that touch that
+repository in any way. This makes me suspect something is being left out
+somehow. Are you using the assistant or something?
+
+You can see which remotes have been marked dead by `git show git-annex:trust.log | grep X`

+I see no ecidence of a file being damanged. I see evidence of the
+dead remote removal code removing dead remotes from uuid.log, which
+is what it's supposed to do, if enabled by
+`git annex forget --drop-dead` having been run at some point.
+
+Based on the number of transitions listed in the commit message,
+you've run it repeatedly, even.

+@Don, when a preferred content expression matches
+based on the name of a file, it will only match objects used by
+files currently in the tree, and not objects used by old versions.
+
+So, what you want is probably as simple as "include=*"
