I don't think it's the check for type==DIRECTORY.  If that fails, you'll 
get the error message "Failed to get root for..." which is not in the 
log snippet.  The callback is only called if the getattrs() on the 
junction obj succeeds, so maybe it's failing?  A reproducer would help a 
lot, if that's possible.
