I've pushed a change that improves git-annex's support for weird urls
like this:

        url = ssh://localhost/home/joey/tmp/foo bar
        url = localhost:tmp/foo bar

Before, git-annex would seem to ignore the first of these (it actually
thought it was a local directory!), and complained the second was a
bad url, now both are supported and work in my tests.

Maybe this will fix your problem. If not, what kind of repository is it,
a git repository, or a special remote, and what does the url for it in
.git/config look like?
