#2211: SVN won't delete symlinks

-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
Myth is failing to resolve relative symlinks.
In my setup, I have my recordings stored in /media/record, and an NFS-
mounted folder at /media/nfs to move them to when the main HD becomes to
full. I create symlinks like:
something.nuv -> ../nfs/something.nuv
Here's the output of 'mythbackend -v file':
2006-08-11 08:17:22.991 About to unlink/delete file:
'/media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv'

This suggests that Myth is trying to delete the file using ".." in the
path, which is incorrect because mythbackend was not started in
/media/record. To confirm this theory, I stopped mythbackend, cd'd to
/media/record, restarted it, and then deleted the recording. It worked.
