Re: reason why beagle doesnt index

["Kevin Kubasik" <kevin kubasik net>]

Theres a good chance that the symlinks are messing the gaim backend
up, as I don't think it has all the good filesystem logic that the fsq
does. We could probably have it try and handle that more
intelligently, could you file a bug so we don't lose this in the grand
mess of things?
