OK, I wasn't able to reproduce this with the following:
lhall@lhall->cd /tmp
/tmp
lhall@lhall->mkdir test
lhall@lhall->cd test
/tmp/test
lhall@lhall->mkdir foo
lhall@lhall->cd foo
/tmp/test/foo
lhall@lhall->mkdir backup
lhall@lhall->touch backup/bar backup/baz
lhall@lhall->cd ..
/tmp/test
lhall@lhall->ln -s /cygdrive/i linuxshare
lhall@lhall->ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 lhall Domain U 0 Apr 9 17:07 foo/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lhall Domain U 22 Apr 9 17:09 linuxshare ->
/cygdrive/i/
lhall@lhall->cd foo
/tmp/test/foo
lhall@lhall->mv backup/ ../linuxshare
lhall@lhall->ls ../linuxshare/backup/
bar baz
So maybe VMWare is significant but I don't have a Linux version to try it
with. Or maybe you and I are really doing things differently. Does the
above work for you? If not, send the output of your run to the list.
Also *attach* the output of 'cygcheck -s -r -v'.
