Subject: nncp-file on directory fails when directory contains symlinks

Hi,

Today I was trying:

nncp-file /bin dest:

I'd get:

2022-01-25T13:57:32Z File /bin (0 B) sent to dest:bin.tar

And nothing would be transmitted.  Other directories worked.

I discovered the reason: the presence of even one symlink in a directory
caused the operation to fail; a file would be left in the tmp directory
and nothing would be sent.

Thanks,

John
