+### Please describe the problem.
+When my android phone tries to decode files downloaded from a ssh remote using shared encryption, gpg errors occur.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Setup is very similar to my other bug report in <https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_android_and_xmpp/>.
+Only difference is the location of the annex on the android side.
+I have put it on the /data mount which uses ext4 to avoid the /sdcard fuse mount, which does not handle symlinks.
+
+1) setup git annex via webapp on laptop:
+
+* local annex
+
+* remote annex via ssh with shared encryption (tried two different servers, one with and one without git-annex installed)
+
+* share with my devices using jabber.me account
+
+2) setup git annex via webapp on android:
+
+* local annex in /data/data/ga.androidterm/annex (ext filesystem)
+
+* share with my devices using jabber.me account
+
+* ssh remote is automatically added via XMPP
+
+3) add file to annex on linux, which gets uploaded to the ssh remote
+
+4) symlink for file is created on phone and data downloaded, but never decrypted (see logs below)
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Ubunut Linux 12.04 with git-annex version:
+
+* 5.20140127.1 (from PPA)
+
+Android 4.2 (rooted) with git-annex version:
+
+* 5.20140211-g556cfeb (from autobuilds)
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+full logs:
