I do not see this in practice on my server. In my case, the junctions create infinite loops (well, until the path gets too long, anyway), and give me tens of *thousands* of errors. I used the list of exclusions on the BackupPC wiki to get this down to a manageable number (400, instead of 80,000 or so).

Have you added a parameter somewhere to handle this?
