Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

guestmount 1.3.20

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. guestmount a filesystem that has an absolute symlink
2. note the symlink points to the wrong place
3.
  
Additional info:

We should rewrite absolute symlinks as relative ones in the
FUSE layer.
