So there seem to be some shortcomings in NTFS, still.

1. Symlinks are not supported.  Proper symlinks exist in NTFS since
   Vista, so we should support them.

2. readdir() seems to be broken.

I have been using the following test load to generate disk images:

Anyone who has been involved with the NTFS code who has a chance to take
a look?

Thanks to Ady2 for helping spotting the problems.
