### Please describe the problem.

"git annex --pathdepth=3 addurl URL" displays this error message and reports "failed", even though the operation succeeds when using --fast:

    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have lots of downloaded files I'd like to add an URL to, so I'm doing this:

    $ ga addurl --fast --pathdepth=3 $(for f in *.mp3; do echo http://traffic.libsyn.com/geologicpodcast/$f; done)
    addurl
    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    failed
    addurl
    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    failed
    addurl
    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    [... Delete 166 lines ...]
    addurl
    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    failed
    addurl
    git-annex: /media/usb32g-1/annex/musikk/.git/annex/tmp/2325: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
    failed
    (Recording state in git...)
    git-annex: addurl: 60 failed
    $

This "ga" command is a wrapper around git-annex to make it work everywhere with the .tar.gz version:

    #!/bin/bash

    #=======================================================================
    # ga
    # File ID: e89047ce-29d1-11e2-bb6f-00c0a8deee11
    #=======================================================================

    if test "$1" = "sync"; then
        stat_output="$(git status --porcelain | grep -v '^??')"
        test -n "$stat_output" && { echo ga: Repo has modifications, will not git-annex sync >&2; exit 1; }
    fi
    /opt/git-annex/runshell /opt/git-annex/git-annex "$@"

$PATH is also set up to include /opt/git-annex/bin/ , and all other operations work nicely. In my ~/bin/ directory I've also symlinked this script to "git-annex".

When dropping "--fast", this happens:

git-annex now believes that the file is stored locally, but an fsck shows how things really are:

    $ ga fsck
    fsck GeologicPodcast02-Feb21-07.mp3 ok
    fsck GeologicPodcast03-Feb28-07.mp3 ok
    [... Delete 35 lines ...]
    fsck GeologicPodcast301-Feb22-13.mp3 ok
    fsck GeologicPodcast302-Feb28-13.mp3 (fixing location log)
      ** Based on the location log, GeologicPodcast302-Feb28-13.mp3
      ** was expected to be present, but its content is missing.

    fsck GeologicPodcast72-Jul03-08.mp3 ok
    (Recording state in git...)
    git-annex: fsck: 3 failed
    $

After this fsck, everything is OK again; the location log is correct and "get" from this URL works.

The file data didn't exist locally (it's stored on another disk) when doing this, but I also experimented what would happen if the file data did exist:

    $ rm GeologicPodcast297-Jan24-13.mp3

At this stage, the data for this .mp3 file exist locally, but git-annex is either unaware of it, or it insists on verifying the data. Anyhow, it downloads the file:

The error message appears again, but because the data did exist from before, git-annex fsck has nothing to complain about:

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

v4.20130627 Linux i386 and AMD64. Both versions behave the same way. Tested on two computers:
