Thanks Joey! Your comment is right on point.

Changed to the following and now it works as expected. The bash script is now:

```
#/usr/bin/env bash

# Just a way to access the script's directory
cd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\"
DIR=\"$(pwd)\"

# Create the 1st client repository
mkdir $DIR/client1
cd $DIR/client1
git init && git annex init

# Create the 2nd client repository
mkdir $DIR/client2
cd $DIR/client2
git init && git annex init

# Create the transfer repository
mkdir $DIR/share
cd $DIR/share
git init && git annex init

# Setup the remotes and groups for the transfer repository
cd $DIR/share
git remote add client1 $DIR/client1
git remote add client2 $DIR/client2
git annex wanted . standard
git annex group . transfer
git annex group client1 client
git annex group client2 client
git annex mincopies 2
git annex numcopies 2
git co -b main

# Setup the remotes and groups for the 1st client repository.
cd $DIR/client1
git remote add share $DIR/share
git annex wanted . standard
git annex group . client
git annex group share transfer
# git annex config --set annex.addunlocked true
git co -b main

# Setup the remotes and groups for the 2nd client repository.
cd $DIR/client2
git remote add share $DIR/share
git annex wanted . standard
git annex group . client
git annex group share transfer
# git annex config --set annex.addunlocked true
git co -b main

# Start git-annex assistant for client1 only
cd $DIR/client1 && git annex assistant

# Add a single file to the 1st client.
cd $DIR/client1
touch file.txt

# Wait for the commit to be auto created by git-annex-assistant.
sleep 3;

cd $DIR/share
git pull client1 main
git annex assistant
cd $DIR/client2
git pull share main
git annex assistant

cd $DIR/client1
echo \"My first line\" >> file.txt
```

I have other issues following that, but I'll create separate forum questions for them.

Thanks again Joey.
