#3541 closed Bug (incomplete)
cannot move/locate torrent via softlink

Description
(on Linux/Debian?)
using transmission-remote --find or --move, you cannot set the torrent location to anything containing a softlink. Only "real" mounts are allowed. Also, transmission-remote (via the daemon) is incorrectly responding with "success" when in fact the relocation failed.
To reproduce, create a softlink to the directory containing an existing torrent.
ln -s torrent_olddir new_torrentlink
then
transmission-remote -t ## --find new_torrentdir
note that I am properly using the fully qualified name for new_torrentdir.

I should add that this behavior holds for bind mounts as well. Only the original mount can be used for a --move or --find. Note as well that there is no problem when adding the torrent, only when moving it.
