I've had the same thing happen in reverse. I can not switch from direct to indirect mode. After receiving a similar error:

    git-annex: /Users/akraut/Desktop/annexes/home/.git/annex/objects/ZV/kq/SHA256E-s207--4b4fa180ac4c16fe83eb2a5fed4c217c1d26195c876a4e0e700ae63605348d75.mp3/SHA256E-s207--4b4fa180ac4c16fe83eb2a5fed4c217c1d26195c876a4e0e700ae63605348d75.mp3.cache: removeLink: permission denied (Permission denied)

After this error, annex things I'm in indirect mode:

    %  > git annex status
    supported backends: SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 WORM URL
    supported remote types: git S3 bup directory rsync web webdav glacier hook
    repository mode: indirect

And git things that my repo has many uncommitted typechanges.
