I receive the following when trying to verify or even -s sometimes.  "~/www" is
a symbolic link pointing to someplace else.  Looks like sitecopy is failing to
follow symbolic links at the FTP end.

Maybe I should have created the database using the real folder?

---snip---
./sitecopy -l sdf -dftp
sitecopy: Showing changes to site `sdf' (on otaku.freeshell.org in

sitecopy: The remote site does not need updating.
