I'm getting some interesting errors in the glusterfsd log file when hard 
linking files in some instances.  It seems to function fine, but the log 
reports an error.  The files are indeed hard linked, as they are at the 
same inode.

Sometimes, I can replicate the log messages by creating the link myself 
with "ln pc/nfs/350/f%2f/fhome/ftoprank/fbin/fsh ./" from within the 
glusterfs mount point, in other cases I can't (usually after I've 
reproduced it a few times already for that file though).  I'm unable to 
reproduce it with files I created manually, just the ones BackupPC 
creates that it already noted problems with in the log file.
