rsync: [sender] change_dir No such file

Please describe the problem.

In an rsync special remote, "git-annex get a.pdf" gives me the error:

rsync: [sender] change_dir "/home/myuser/annex/M8/98/'SHA256E-s367497--24d4a5763a5cd718985a471b4d18981b38f9be73206c33ca885d1e7357a8a2f1.pdf" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1852) [Receiver=3.4.1]

This seems due to different storage paths of the file in the local annex and in the remote annex.

In the local annex, it is under objects/M8/98

In the remote annex, paths are of the form objects/1a3/df7

There seems to be a different repository layout, but git-annex attempts to obtain the file under the local path.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

create new rsync-over-ssh special remote copy some files there git-annex drop a.pdf git-annex get a.pdf

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)

git-annex solves a lot of problems for both work and privately. I use it on a daily basis since a decade, and it is just great and very reliable. Great software, please keep up developing and maintaining it.
