Bug Description
Ubuntu 9.10
deja-dup 11.1-0ubuntu0ka
duplicity 0.6.06-
I have a symlink /files -> /home/files. I added /files/Photos to the directories to be backed up. I noticed that it hadn't backed up the Photos dir. Then I change it to /home/files/Photos and it does back it up. I'm backing up to S3 in case that makes any difference.
Let me know if you have any problems reproducing it or need any more info from me.

Reopening this. The previous fix only applies to symlinks that are actually used in the include/exclude list. But paths with symlinks higher up in the path (like this original report) only backup up to the symlink!
Working on a fix.
