I should mention that it does not hang when run on files.

<p>So you're using git-annex in a directory that is not on the local computer,
but that uses a network filesystem?</p>
<p>That seems likely to be the cause of your problem. For example, such
filesystem often have trouble with POSIX file locks that git-annex uses.</p>

Yeah, that's right. I though direct mode would avoid those problems, but evidently not - thanks anyway! <img src="http://git-annex.branchable.com/smileys/smile.png" alt=":)" />
