Symlinks to directories are not followed. There are two reasons for that:
type of file where symlink points to cannot be easily determined and
infinite directory recursion can happen.
You can make lftp always follow symlinks by using
set list-options "-L"
(of course it would only work if server supports -L option of LIST command.)
