Description James 2006-08-09 14:32:44 UTC

Description of problem:
Nautilus attempts to copy the symlinks themselves rather than their contents
when copying to an external device. This results in "operation not permitted"
errors with FAT-based USB memory chips.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.14.1-1.fc5.1

Expected behaviour:
Nautilus identifies the target as being removable (or not supporting symlinks)
and copies the data.
