I enabled debug logging and tried again and this time the remote was successfully added! Maybe the first time I mistyped my password?
Either way, it is working now and I created a file in my annex directory and the assistant successfully synced it to my box.com repo.

Same Android device and same behavior as the above comment. While the connection attempt was being made, I switched to the terminal window and saw a connection to 173.194.46.86:5222 in the SYN_SENT state (and that connection wasn't there prior to the jabber configuration attempt).
Even from my desktop, manual connection attempts to 173.194.46.86:5222 timed out.
Then I ran the same jabber configuration from my desktop and it worked fin. Using netstat, I could see it connected to 74.125.133.125:5222.
So is the Android version using the wrong address?

I've run into a stumbling block with `rsync`. It thinks that
`C:\repo` is a path on a ssh server named "C". Seems I will need to translate
native windows paths to unix-style paths when running rsync.

The Windows port can now do everything in the [[walkthrough]]. It can use
both local and remote git repositories. Some special remotes work
(directory at least; probably rsync; likely any other special remote that
can have its dependencies built). Missing features include most special
remotes, gpg encryption, and of course, the assistant.
Also built a NullSoft installer for git-annex today. This was made very
easy when I found the Haskell ncis library, which provides a DSL embedding
the language used to write NullSoft installers into Haskell. So I didn't
need to learn a new language, yay! And could pull in all my helpful
Haskell utility libraries in the program that builds the installer.
The only tricky part was: How to get git-annex onto PATH? The standard way
to do this seems to be to use a multiple-hundred line include file. Of
course, that file does not have any declared license.. Instead of that,
I used a hack. The git installer for Windows adds itself to PATH, and is
a pre-requisite for git-annex. So the git-annex installer just installs
it into the same directory as git.
So.. I'll be including this first stage Windows port, with installer in
the next release. Anyone want to run a Windows autobuilder?

As you can see, server 2 just doesn't know the data is already on it's own disk in it's local bup repo.
Is there a reason this data does not get synced? Should I set up a transfer repo?

## status
* Does not support encryption with gpg.
* Does not work with Cygwin's build of git (that git does not consistently
support use of DOS style paths, which git-annex uses on Windows).
Must use the upstream build of git for Windows.
* OTOH, you do need to install Cygwin's build of rsync (unless you can
find another one), and Cygwin's build of ssh.
* test suite doesn't work
* Bad file locking, it's probably not safe to run more than one git-annex
process at the same time on Windows.
