Yeah, I'm surprised as well that it wants to make a new inode instead of
using the symlink. Looking at (I think) the relevant function,
`gnus-read-newsrc-el-file' in gnus-start.el, I see no obvious reason why
it should behave that way. The important part of the function uses the
Emacs builtin test `file-exists-p' which can usually handle symlinks,
networked filesystems, Tramp filenames, etc. without unexpected
behavior. No idea why you were seeing what you were seeing :)
