I'll try that out. I don't recall it working then... I'd attempted to use the recently bolted on thing for awhile. It'd be odd if I didn't flail around to flip that switch in my throes of frustration... ;)

UPDATE:I saw no change in behavior when modifying the follow parameter. I also twiddled chdir to no avail. and tried just setting dangling_symlinks to 1 to bomb out with an error if it ran across one. It didn't. Finder continues to find stuff...
