Now I'm getting a nother problem: gcp is trying to follow symlinks, even though it's being called with "-al", and -a implies no-dereference, which means it shouldn't follow symllinks
anyway, I tried the two commands listed at the end of this, with the listed results. Anyone know of this issue with gcp?
