Deleting through a soft-link deletes the target files, which should NOT happen.

If you have a directory on your Unix server with a soft-link to another directory "up" outside of that directory, then if you were to "rm -rf" your directory, the soft-link would just be deleted but the target directory would be kept intact.

However, with ExpanDrive (and/or MacFUSE), this is not the case. I just deleted a directory with a soft-link in this fashion, and it deleted a lot of important files in the linked-to directory. This is a VERY bad thing. Somehow you guys need to figure out how to only delete the soft-link "file" and not the target directory.
