That reproduces the error on startup really effectively, thanks.  However, I
don't know how to tell if I've fixed the (In reply to Arnaud Dovi from comment

Yes, thank you.  I removed the internal uses where we get the link target, so I
can confirm that this application is aware of reparse tags and that it is
effectively responsible for the "problem":

Manager: /Vortex Mod Manager (X:)

So, given that I can:
1) Fix this so that it "works" (reports the target properly) but gives you
problems in terms of not properly finding everything.  This is likely closest
to what would happen on Windows if you set up the same situation with mklink. 
Is there any chance that you have a Windows box where you can verify that?
2) Report an unrecognized tag for unix symlinks (see hacky attachment, if you
want to give that a try)
3) Hide the symlinks completely

Zeb, do you have thoughts?
