[emacs 21.1.1, vm 7.07, Solaris]

The following problem seems to occur only in VM, even though 
it seems to be emacs- or file-system-related. 
I'm therefore not sure it is a VM bug; if not, I'd be grateful 
for advice on how to solve it anyway. 

I organize my folders of saved mail in several directories.
In a few cases the same folder "should" be in 2 directories: 
one for private communication and one for project-specific stuff, 
say.  I've solved this by storing the folder in one directory 
and placing a symlink to that folder in the other directory.
However, after a while I somehow have two regular files anyway,
which have then obviously gone out of synch as I have saved 
messages through one path or the other.  Very annoying.

I have find-file-existing-other-name set to t, and the value 
of find-file-visit-truename is nil.  vm-visit-when-saving is 
set to 0.  I can't recall seeing messages to the effect that 
the folder has changed on disk when saving a folder.  Also, 
saving through the symlink while visiting the true file (and 
vice versa) *seems* to work as expected, at least while I'm 
watching, but I'm still suspicious. 

Does this seem familiar to anyone?  

Thanks
