Right, well 1.1.8 is when that code was introduced. Unfortunately, it
still doesn't tell us why it's failing. Maybe it's something specific to
AFP shares. Can you tell me anything about that share? Is it on a Mac OS
X Client? OS X Server? If server, does the share have ACL-type permissions?

Did you try this test?

$ cd /Volumes/mcneal/backup/
$ touch src
$ ln -s src tgt
$ rm tgt
$ rm src
