All,
        I am seeing problems when trying to restore a hard link. This comes
around when I am trying to restore a file where the file it was
originally a hard link of has disappeared (which is allowed to happen).

I see the following message:
14-Sep 11:56 malfunction-fd: malfunction-RestoreFiles.2006-09-14_10.38.25
Error: create_file.c:249 Could not hard link
/mnt/sda1/var/spool/imap/e/user/XXXXXX/15096. ->
/mnt/sda1/var/spool/imap/e/user/YYYYYY/17341.: ERR=No such file or directory

Under this situation surely the better way to handle this would be to
check the file it was trying to link to existed, if it does not still
exist then to restore the file it originally linked to to the name of
the file that was trying to link to it. So above it would be:

if /mnt/sda1/var/spool/imap/e/user/YYYYYY/17341. doesn't exist on
filesystem at present:
        restore /mnt/sda1/var/spool/imap/e/user/YYYYYY/17341. as                
        
/mnt/sda1/var/spool/imap/e/user/XXXXXX/15096.
else:
        Hardlink it

Comments/Ideas? I guess for the time being I will just have to turn
hardlinks=off in my fileset {} block?
