+copy seems to try to push via http url, not succeeding. Interestingly, without --fast option, it doesn't even give a meaningful error message -- just says that it fails to find the file at the remote end (here are both calls outputs):

+
+So far we found the way to rectify it by providing value of pushurl as a remote..url value for that git annex call.  But it would be more "kosher" if git annex itself respected pushurl in such cases.
