Brenden,

A symlink for the DA/EU will not be listed if the link target is homed 
outside of the user home directory heirarchy... if the symlink target
points to a file that resides within the home directory heirarchy then
the symlink should be listed.  If you have observed an exception to this
behavior, then please, by all means, bring this matter to our attention.

Since the DA/EU file management utilities are "chroot'd" (i.e. access is
restricted to the home directory heirarchy), you can expect that any 
symlinks that point to targets not homed in the DA/EU home directory 
heirarchy will never be surfaced by CPX (not even in a plain un-href'd 
form).

hth.
