Yes, it won't free up any space because there are also links under the
pc directories and space isn't released until the last link is removed
(and no processes have the file open).  And, the next time you back up
the matching content it won't find the match and will thus use more
space for a new copy.   The backuppc_nightly job clears these files
after the link count goes to one - which happens when all of the
backup runs with links have expired.
