hmm... I forgot about the mail spool sym-links - this is a right pain - I think Sun/Cobalt need to look at this, as it's a case of follow symlinks in archiving mail, but NOT following sym-links for site folders (web).

ie, another archive function within the Archive.pm is probably called for, so that mail and web folders can be archived differently.

Cobalt - how about it?  It's perfectly logical to use symlinks in sites, so why would we want to restore them using the CMU as followed links?
