### Please describe the problem.
I'm using a special directory remote for one of my annex repository. This directory is slow (because it's a FUSE-mounted directory), so I decided to symlink /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/tmp/ to another drive (as tmp/ is just used during the copy operations). However it doesn't work as expected as git-annex seems unable to copy anything from /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/tmp/ to /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/.
git annex copy --to special_dir myfile
copy mlyfile (to special_dir...)

git-annex: copy: 1 failed
ls -l /SPECIALREMOTEDIRECTORY/annex/k/

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Of course! git-annex is totally amazing in order to manage big collections of files. I'm using it for my videos, and for my photos as well (thousands of files), on Linux and MacOS. Thank you very much for this awesome tool!
