Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

If a parent folder is a symlink (to somewhere within HOME), then none of
the child folders within it can be added to Ubuntu One

Test case:
mkdir -p folder/subfolder
echo hello > folder/subfolder/file.txt
ln -sf folder link-to-folder
gnome-open link-to-folder

Right-click 'subfolder' 
Select "Ubuntu One" -> "Synchronize This Folder"
u1sdtool --list-folders
The folder has not been added to Ubuntu One

synchdaemon.log shows:
