Hi!

I'm having a problem with Nautilus from Gnome 2.16 (I also had this
with 2.14.x).

On my Desktop folder, I've got a symlink:

alexander@blatt ~/Desktop $ ls -la `pwd`/Bilder
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alexander alexander 20 23. Sep 16:07 /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder -> /mnt/HD/share/Bilder

When I now try to move this link into the trash (by selecting it and 
pressing <Del> or by selecting the appropriate action from the context
menu), I get an error message:

        Fehler: »Nicht auf demselben Dateisystem«
        beim Löschen von »/home/alexa...top/Bilder«.

        Wollen Sie fortfahren?

                                        [ Abbrechen ] [ Wiederholen ]


        Error "Not on the same file system"
        while deleting "/home/alex...top/Bilder".

        Would you like to continue?

                                        [ Cancel ] [ Retry ]

(With a different user, I don't get any message at all - ie. there's
no message and just nothing happens when I hit <Del> - but that's
a different issue...)

Well, the message is correct - the symlink points to a different
filesystem. To a NFS mounted directory, to be exact.

Am I doing something wrong? How can I delete symlinks to a
different filesystem with Nautilus?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
