Not exactly relevant for what you do, but it just occured to me that if
the platform supports symlinks, but not the filesystem, EPERM is returned.
I don't know if it is worth worrying about handling that case though.
Checking out to a USB stick might be a use case...

Else, the patch looks fine.

Thanks,
