As I just pointed out in the iRex forum, there is another method for linking directories without having the delete problem. Add a new directory and put the following manifest.xml in it:
Code:
<package>
<metadata>
...
</metadata>
<directory>
<content>/mnt/cf/documents</content>
</directory>
</package>
This way the directory shows up too, but the symlink can be deleted correctly.
