And that's not surprising. If you want to store data in S3, you need to
use the S3 backend, not the local backend.

Not sure what you mean. Did you delete the local copy? If so, you can
just download the data from S3 using whatever tool you used to upload it
and you should be able to mount it using the local backend.
If you want to "convert" a local S3QL file system to an S3 one, you can
use the contrib/clone_fs.py script from the S3QL tarball.
