### Please describe the problem.

I created somelargefile on host1. A file with that name appears in the right place on host2 but I can't use it:


    host2:~/annex% cat somelargefile
    cat: somelargefile: No such file or directory


### What steps will reproduce the problem?

I am running http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz and I connected two hosts with the 'Local computer' workflow. I run assistant on both sides.

I make a file on either side, wait a minute for it to sync, and then observe this on the remote side:

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 drewp drewp 178 Jul  9 23:58 somelargefile -> .git/annex/objects/Pw/vw/SHA256E-s8--bf87165d313027621936809a01da1994f9bd20ff9580c1380e7636e2443fe4ed/SHA256E-s8--bf87165d313027621936809a01da1994f9bd20ff9580c1380e7636e2443fe4ed

    host2:~/annex% ls -l .git/annex/objects/Pw/vw/SHA256E-s8--bf87165d313027621936809a01da1994f9bd20ff9580c1380e7636e2443fe4ed/              
    total 4                                                                                                                            
    -rw------- 1 drewp drewp 14 Jul  9 23:58 SHA256E-s8--bf87165d313027621936809a01da1994f9bd20ff9580c1380e7636e2443fe4ed.map

My "large file" is in fact 8 bytes long. The .map file contains the string "somelargefile\n"
