I am experiencing similar behavior on Ubuntu Trusty (x86_64) using a prebuilt Linux release:

    Linux hostname 3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
    Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
    Release:	14.04
    Codename:	trusty

    git-annex version: 5.20141016-g26b38fd

    remote types: git gcrypt S3 bup directory rsync web webdav tahoe glacier ddar hook external

Copying files to S3 consistently fails both from the command line and via the assistant:

Two files (out of several hundred) have succeeded.

Any ideas?
