### Please describe the problem.
I have a git annex repo which cannot find the files with whereis, even though the files and contents are there. I have changed ownership of all the files. I am not sure, but I think that is when the problem was introduced. The current user that is invoking git annex owns and can access all files in the repository/annex)
Creating a new repository from scratch works just fine.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
# (in my current, somehow corrupt annex)
$ echo hello > testfile
$ git annex add testfile
add testfile (checksum...) ok
(Recording state in git...)
$ git commit -am testfile
[master 73ed120] testfile
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 120000 testfile
$ git annex whereis testfile
whereis testfile (0 copies) failed
git-annex: whereis: 1 failed
# The contents exists though
$ ls -l testfile

# the file can be found when unlocking/locking
$ git annex unlock testfile

$ git annex lock testfile

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
I ran Debian squeeze, with git annex 3.20120629~bpo60+2 when the problem was introduced. I just upgraded to wheezy, but the same problem exists with 3.20120629 from wheezy.
I also manually installed 4.20130501 from unstable, which also showed the same problem.
### Please provide any additional information below.
I am not sure what information to supply, please provide pointers on what information might be useful.
