Mac OSX Lion symlink to Windows 7 share is broken

Hi all!


I'd like someone to help me with the following issue:


I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine with some shared folders. In order to access theses folders, passwords are not requirede. So, when I try to access these folders putting the smb address in Finder, everything works fine. However, I need to use a symlink to XBMC recognize the folder Pictures in my share. So, I had to create a symlink to this folder in the smb share (also I configured it in a way that Mac OSX Lion automount the share when the session starts). I did it and for a while everything worked fine.


But when I restart the computer, although the share is mounted, the symlink is broken. So when I click on it, it seems like an empty folder, instead of going to the share.


Thanks in advance.

Cheers! 😀
