+### 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:
