This is just the standard Bacula way of telling you "Hey, I encountered 
a junction point! But because I'm smart I didn't back up the files again."
All you need to do to suppress those messages is add all the junction 
points on the given windows system to the exclude list of your filesystem.
Bacula will then no longer mention skipping them as you explicitly told 
it to do so.

My fileset for Windows 2008R2 (mind you that it's a Dutch Windows 
version so some JP's have entries in English and Dutch, some don't. Yay 
for that microsoft ...):

A windows 7 fileset will probably look just like this. To get a list of 
all JP's there's a bunch of tools available on the internet, or you can 
go by the list bacula gives you ^^

Once you edit your fileset you should be left only with "important" 
warnings.

Kind regards,
