Hi,
did you consider, that on NTFS there are 2 types of symbolic links?
- the so called junctions, which only allow absolute target paths.
- less known real symlinks, which also alow relative target paths: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Windows_7_.26_Vista_symbolic_link.
(I do not mean the 3rd variant, which is called shortcut and doesn't count for link)
