I have a config file that uses a symbolic link as a parent directory.
Basically the directory /usr/local/apache/virtual/books/ is symlinked to
/home/virtual/apache/books/
The config file is as follows...

[mirror]
Title: Books Mirror
Category: Books
Description: Books mirror from my.server.com
Url: ftp://my.server.com/usr/local/apache/virtual/books/
Parent: /usr/local/apache/virtual/
Output-file: books.html
Username: john
Password: doh

When I run the script, emirror erases the link and creates a new
/usr/local/apache/virtual/books/
The reason why I have created a sum link is because the /usr partition
is quite small on this machine while the /home partotion is very big.
Any idea on why emirror erases the sym-link?
