If you make a link in Ubuntu (by right-clicking on a file or folder
and choosing Make link) then you cannot copy that link to an external
device. Nautilus will say: Error "Operation not permitted." Grsync
seems to just silently skip them.
What type of filesystem does your external device contain? If it is
FAT/VFAT/FAT32 or NTFS, you simply can't store links on it, because
these filesystems do not support symbolic like Linux (and hence Ubuntu)
does.
