git-annex-5.20131230: doc/bugs/Unable_to_copy_from_Android.mdwn
### Please describe the problem.
I am unable to copy files from my Android git annex repository into a remote repository on a Ubuntu machine.
It was previously working fine, but after recent upgrades, it throws odd errors and refuses to copy the files.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run this command:
`git annex copy --to remote Path/To/File.txt`
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
