In my case, I cannot create the file because the filename is 262 bytes long, and either ext3 or bash have a filename limit of 255 bytes.

You may have to delete it using its inode or the \"rsync --delete with empty directory\" trick to get rid of it. Odd how git-annex managed to create it in the first place though..
