Correct, I mistyped.

It works fine if I create the native symlinks in an elevated shell,
but does not if I create the native symlinks in a "normal" shell.  Is
this expected (i.e. does creating native symlinks only work in
elevated shells?).  In this case the Domain user is a member of the
local administrators group on the local machine.  This filesystem is a
local NTFS hosted on Windows 7.

Thanks,

Chris
