Built a new copy of git-annex yesterday.  I have a \"client\" on my macbook, and two \"backup\"s, one on an external HD, one on an ssh git remote.

git annex get --auto works beautifully!

It doesn't seem to work for copying content *to* a place where it's needed, though.

If I drop a file from my \"backup\" USB drive, and then go back to my macbook and do a \"git annex sync\" and \"git annex copy --to=usbdrive --auto\" it does not send the file out to the USB drive, even though by preferred content settings, the USB drive should \"want\" the file because it's a backup drive and it wants all content.

Similarly, if I add a new file on my macbook and then do a \"git annex copy --to=usbdrive auto\" it does not get copied to the USB drive.

Is this missing functionality, or should the preferred content setting for remotes only affect the assistant?   (It does work fine with the assistant!  It'd just be neat if I could use it when I'm just command-lining things, just like with get)
