### Please describe the problem.

I am fairly new to git annex - so I may have a misconception about how it should work.

I have two laptop clients A and B that each have a single ssh remote, server C, setup as a full backup. Both of the laptops were setup through the web and have the assistant running.

The problem I am seeing is that laptop A does not seem to sync contents created on laptop B. If i do the following:

    laptopA# echo "foo" > bar
    laptopB# cat bar
    > foo

    laptopB# echo "baz" > bang
    laptopA# cat bang
    > No such file or directory

Laptop A has the symlink for bang but no contents. 

if i run the following:

    laptopA# git annex find --want-get --not --in .
it returns 'bang'

So it seems that laptopA wants the contents of the file created on laptopB, but doesn't sync it. If I manually run git annex sync --content everything is good. But when running the assistant should I not care about this?
