I'm having the exact same problem.

I think what's happening here is that Digikam tries to write the .xmp file in
the same directory as the real file.  Git-annex has arranged the file
permissions such that the real file exists in a directory without write
permission.  Digikam is probably silently failing when it tries to write the
.xmp.

This is a tricky one, because you could imagine another user using symbolic
links in such a way that they would want the sidecar to be written in the same
place as the real file (that is, the current behavior).

For now I'm planning on compiling digikam myself and finding the code that
notices symbolic links and changing it.  I'll let you know what I find.
