Hi,
if I have following in my unison profile it works:
root = /new/path/to/sync
rootalias = //hostname//new/path/to/sync -> //hostname//old/path/to/sync

but when I do:
ln -sfn /new/path /symlink

and put in my profile:
root = /symlink/path/to/sync
rootalias = //hostname//symlink/path/to/sync -> //hostname//old/path/to/sync

the rootalias is ignored

However, using it in command works:
unison "profile" -rootalias "//hostname//symlink/path/to/sync -> 
//hostname//old/path/to/sync"

So I can use the command line, but I can't use the gui. It would be nice if 
I could get it working. Is it a bug or do I need to format it differently 
in the profile?
