+This control socket message sounds like the actual problem is
+that unix sockets cannot be used on this filesystem. git-annex
+puts the socket there to make ssh connection caching work.
+
+So, I think you need to disable ssh connection caching: 
+`git config annex.sshcaching false`
+
+I was able to reproduce a similar failure on nfts on linux.
