svn:ignore -- Not working for me!

I have set the svn:ignore property correctly, I think, but it doesn't work.

Here is a listing of the contents of a directory under svn version control:

        .svn
        Makefile
        README
        hello.c
        howdy.c -> hello.c

I issued the following command:

        svn propset 'svn:ignore' howdy.c .

The contents of .svn/dir-props:

        K 10
        svn:ignore
        V 8
        howdy.c
        
        END

Here is the result of "svn add *"

        A Makefile
        A README
        A hello.c
        svn: Unsupported node kind for path 'howdy.c'

Why isn't howdy.c ignored?
