This is an example one I've seen:

<fd-name> JobId XXXXX: 
c:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a 
is a different filesystem. Will not descend from c:/ into 
c:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a 

One way to make it more concise would be to drop the repetition of the
directory name, something like.

<fd-name> JobId XXXXX: 
c:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a 
links elsewhere. Not Following.

If the code could work out whether the junction actually points to another
filesystem or not, you could have two errors. 

<fd-name> JobId XXXXX: 
c:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a 
links to a different filesystem. Not following.
<fd-name> JobId XXXXX: 
c:/WINDOWS/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a 
links elsewhere in the filesystem. Not following.

These are just suggestions of course.  I'm not sure if this loses
some useful information in some cases.
