To followup to my own email... what's the secret to getting linked cells 
working on Windows?

I'm playing with 1.7.26 on Windows 7 Enterprise.

I've tried bidirectional linking and unidirectional linking.

The behavior I'm seeing is that when I'm a member of newcell and click on a 
mountpoint for a volume in oldcell, I get the contents of the local 
machine's dynroot ('newcell', 'oldcell', and 'thirdcell' (another cell I 
accessed)).

Clicking on one of those "folders" just leads to a recursive rabbithole of 
the same folder with the 3 items. I got bored after ~10 levels.

Cheers,
Stephen
