I do not see this in practice on my server. In my case, the junctions
create infinite loops (well, until the path gets too long, anyway), and
give me tens of *thousands* of errors. I used the list of exclusions on
the BackupPC wiki to get this down to a manageable number (400, instead of
80,000 or so).
Have you added a parameter somewhere to handle this?
