### Please describe the problem. I've added a backup USB Drive and a small archive USB drive and created a archive folder in the root of my ~/annex folder. If I move a file into the ~/annex folder and then move the same file into the ~/annex/archive folder the file gets uploaded to the small archive USB drive, but not dropped from my ~/annex/archive folder.
