I just setup git-annex across three macs, using git-annex assistant. I have one repository working fine, which successfully syncs between two of my own accounts on two different machines, via S3. Now I'm trying to get the "share with a friend" feature to work. The problem is that only Mac Alias's / sym links are created, for example: Machine 1: - Copy file into ~/annex/ Machine 2: - The file is synced as a sym-link, with a link into a file in .git that doesn't exist. The config is: - Version: 4.20130909-ga29f960 - Build flags: Assistant Webapp Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV FsEvents XMPP DNS Feeds Quvi - Two macs - Share with friend over Jabber - Use Box as the cloud sync service with encryption enabled. Box is setup as a transfer repository. I've looked through the logs in .git/annex/daemon.log* and there doesn't look to be any problems. This is what the log looks like: [2013-09-14 19:55:47 PDT] Committer: Adding 20120101-..084-1.jpg failed add /Users/nick/Shared/20120101-GOPR0084-1.jpg (checksum...) ok add /Users/nick/Shared/20120101-GOPR0084-1.jpg (checksum...) ok add /Users/nick/Shared/20120101-GOPR0084-1.jpg (checksum...) ok add /Users/nick/Shared/20120101-GOPR0084-1.jpg (checksum...) ok add /Users/nick/Shared/20120101-GOPR0084-1.jpg (checksum...)
