We used to follow symlinks, but stopped doing so when we ran into
problems when people used them to create cycles (e.g. "ln -s .. foo")
that caused the scanner to go into a loop.  Ignoring all symlinks
avoided this problem but is a problem for your use case.

It will index your media if you use a bind mount instead (which doesn't
have the looping problems), but it might be a bit difficult to get that
to survive reboots on the phone.
