Thanks for the report.
Just to make sure I understand the bug report, I have a couple of questions:
Are you trying to access the /Applications in the mobile home directory or
/Applications in the root?
Are you using a jailbroken device with an additional or modified AFC
library?
Can you provide some more details about why you think this is specific to
sym-links? (Perhaps some other ls output or comparison of the directory
tree from an SSH connection would be helpful)
I did provide some sym link fixes to the source tree that have not been
release yet, but before claiming that they will fix this issue I want to
make sure I understand it correctly.

That is plenty of information, thanks :)
I suspect that the latest version from head should fix this issue, but i'll
double check. The "action item" for this bug is to simply release a new
version based on the head of the tree.
