There's no network traffic involved in git-annex unused --from remote, so I don't see how this can involve the S3 backend at all. If there's a bug here, it should affect any kind of remote. Are you sure you didn't forget to `git annex sync` before `git annex unused --from remote`? If you have an old synced/master branch, that'll count as a user of the file and so unused won't show it. I think you'll need to provide a full transcript of how to make this problem happen for me to get any further. """]]
