STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Create Distributed Server Package
2) Prohibited Files Policy
3) Setup to monitor a Directory that includes sub-directores that are
symbolic links
4) Create a distribution that disctributes the Policy Package
5) Ensure that the policy has been enforced.
RESULTS: The files are deleted or moved in the normal directories
sub-directories. However, the files in the symbolic linkes sub-directories
non of the files that match the criteria are deleted or moved.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Policy follows the symbolic link and enforces the proper
prohibited file functionality.
