Thank you! This fixes it for the Cygwin side, although the symlinks are still technically not right from the Windows side. They're still showing up prefixed \??\.

It's an age since I mucked around with those functions - IIRC the API function for writing them adds the \??\ itself and doesn't expect it to have been supplied? However, when you read the reparse point you have to remember to remove it yourself because who needs consistency :o)

C:\cygwin64>dir /s | findstr ??
