It seems the special remote config was butchered (likely by me): https://github.com/psychoinformatics-de/studyforrest-data-freesurfer/blob/git-annex/remote.log contains two definitions with the same name and one is pointing to the wrong location (which doesn't have the files tracked here).

I fixed it by manually correcting the configuration. Please have a try @chrhaeusler
