It behaved itself. I tried restarting it, unplugging and plugging back in my USB drive to see if it provoked any problems -- none. I decided to try adding something. I added a music video to my Movies/Music directory. It uploaded it to my ssh remote but not to the USB drive and, bizarrely, when I use \"git annex whereis\" it doesn't show it as existing *anywhere*: annex$ git annex whereis Movies/Music/Tanlines\ -\ All\ Of\ Me.flv annex$ It does in fact exist in all three repos! The link is there: annex$ ls -l Movies/Music/Tanlines\ -\ All\ Of\ Me.flv lrwxr-xr-x 1 ed staff 206 Mar 3 13:18 Movies/Music/Tanlines - All Of Me.flv -> ../../.git/annex/objects/0k/j6/SHA256E-s37822147--c9df1d6c9f6d2d72e039de9705ea4673160da32eb0cc9ea87e65003506d9297d.flv/SHA256E-s37822147 the object is there! annex$ ls -l .git/annex/objects/0k/j6/SHA256E-s37822147--c9df1d6c9f6d2d72e039de9705ea4673160da32eb0cc9ea87e65003506d9297d.flv/SHA256E-s37822147--c9df1d6c9f6d2d72e039de9705ea4673160da32eb0cc9ea87e65003506d9297d.flv -r--r--r-- 1 ed staff 37822147 Mar 3 13:17 .git/annex/objects/0k/j6/SHA256E-s37822147--c9df1d6c9f6d2d72e039de9705ea4673160da32eb0cc9ea87e65003506d9297d.flv/SHA256E-s37822147--c9df1d6c9f6d2d72e039de9705ea4673160da32eb0cc9ea87e65003506d9297d.flv The corresponding object also exists in the .git/annex/objects directory of the USB remote and the ssh remote. here's a pastebin of the daemon.log: http://pastebin.com/BGRBQ6Rx Shut down the daemon to see if that changed anything; nope. \"Whereis\" still comes up blank. Tried a git annex fsck --fast to see if that changed anything; nope. \"Whereis\" still comes up blank. Any ideas? Is the log revealing at all? """]]
