+I'm testing out git-annex between a few computers one being a mac (osx 10.9) and a laptop (linux mint 16).  With a vps running git annex as a transfer annex.
+
+Anyway sync is *almost* working...
+
+When I add files on my mac's annex they upload, and go to my laptop as they should.
+
+When I add files on my laptop's annex they upload, and the mac "downloads" them but only creates broken symlinks to the files.
+
+
+I looked in the log and nothing out of the ordinary is happening... is this a bug with the osx version or what?
+
+
+Thanks!
