Bcfg2 destroys symbolic links when installing files

[dclark]

• Have a box where /usr/local -> /local2/local (a filesystem with more space)
• Have a config file under /usr/local/etc/somename.conf
• After a "bcfg2" run, /usr/local will be a directory, and the only file in it will be /usr/local/etc/somename.conf (/local2/local will be untouched).

Here are the pertinent bits of a "bcfg2 -dv" log for a run that causes the issue:

Before:

lug:root{636}# pwd
/usr
lug:root{637}# ls -l | grep local
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         13 Jul 17 03:40 local -> /local2/local

During:

[...]

ConfigFile /usr/local/etc/sudoers does not exist
