Beagle doesn't really handle hard links, and probably doesn't quite do
the right thing.  I think if we're crawling the file system for the
first time, they'll be indexed as two different items, but I don't think
inotify will pick up when hard links are created.

No, Beagle doesn't handle removable media at all right now.  This would
be a great contribution for someone, however.  I'm not entirely sure
what the right solution is here, though: do we store the index on the
device itself, or in the main index?
