Maybe :-). But that is a separate patch I think which means
*much* more re-working of our test infrastructure.

Right now I think I'll start small and just fix this
immediate pain point. I really want to do this as it
help to adding the SMB2 unix extensions, which will need
EA support to store symlinks (correctly).
