Is your daemon running without chroot?  I just did a test, and rsync's
symlink sanitizing is getting rid of the leading "../", even when the
destination would not be outside the top directory of the module.  This
erroneous behavior has been going on as far back as I checked (which was
2.5.7), so it would appear that most people have "use chroot = yes"
enabled in their daemons.  I'll check into fixing this.

Thanks for the report,
