+### Please describe the problem.
+Attempted to create a bup remote on the current system via ssh. It appears to have created the bup remote fine, but fails when sshing to it and does not add the remote.
+This is a normal indirect annex (currently containing a single test jpg in its root)
+I'm presuming the error is "(storing uuid...) sh: 1: cd: can't cd to /~/archie" 
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+git annex initremote bup type=bup encryption=none buprepo=sshservername:path
+
+I've tried using .ssh/config to remove the username from the servername passed to bup repo and it still fails.
