@geoffrey4444 ran into a problem much like the one @markscheel fixed in #74. Specifically, sxs.rpdmb.load expands file names, and then looks for a JSON file corresponding to the H5 file. But if the files are in git-annex, the actual files are under crazy symlinks, so the JSON file can't be found. Mark just swapped the order, so that sxs.rpdmb.load looks for the JSON file first, and only then does it expand symlinks. Unfortunately, sxs.load still does the expansion first, before it hands off the path to sxs.rpdmb.load.

resolve, but make sure that theexistschecks look for underlying symlinks.
