### Please describe the problem. When syncing with a remote, I get some files with "unknown backend". Original: $ ls -lh Pictures/2014/06/21/2014-06-21\ 13.52.34.png lrwxrwxrwx 1 jean jean 214 Jun 21 2014 Pictures/2014/06/21/2014-06-21 13.52.34.png -> ../../../../.git/annex/objects/mx/Ff/SHA256E-s247069--d425c1049778880eb9b9fcab74a82ec86dd22882db9c026f8fc0e9cb6270d022.34.png/SHA256E-s247069--d425c1049778880eb9b9fcab74a82ec86dd22882db9c026f8fc0e9cb6270d022.34.png This picture and symlink is fine. Remote (broken symlink): $ ls -lh Pictures/2014/06/21/2014-06-21\ 13.52.34.png lrwxrwxrwx 1 jean jean 214 Apr 6 12:50 Pictures/2014/06/21/2014-06-21 13.52.34.png -> ./../../.git/annex/objects/mx/Ff/SHA256E-s247069--d425c134ac2f9b0eb9b9fcab74a82ec86dd22882db9c026f8fc0e9cb6270d022.34.pn0.png/SHE-s247069--d425c1049778880eb9b9fcab74a82ec86dd22882db9c09efe84ca9cb6270d022.34.png In this case the paths differ: there is an extra `.pn0` component, and the final `SHA256E` has changed to `SHE`. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? I don't know yet. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? $ git annex version git-annex version: 5.20140412ubuntu1 build flags: Assistant Webapp Webapp-secure Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus DesktopNotify XMPP DNS Feeds Quvi TDFA CryptoHash key/value backends: SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E SKEIN256E SKEIN512E SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 SKEIN256 SKEIN512 WORM URL remote types: git gcrypt S3 bup directory rsync web webdav tahoe glacier hook external local repository version: 5 supported repository version: 5 upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2 4 Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS ### Please provide any additional information below.
