So you say you just confirm the suggested link name and you get an
invalid link?

I noticed that the path to your target dir contains a duplicate
directory file name "/Pictures/Pictures/".  These directories do really
exist like this in your file system, yes?

I try to find out if there is something special in your use case.
Personally I use Y very frequently and have never seen a problem like
this.


Thanks,
