Stupid Mac OS X (10.10.3) tricks.

AFP from one Mac, to another.  Same OS version.  Three directories on the same volume.  One file, with a hard link (`ln A/foo B/`).  Move the file from one directory to another.  Moving foo from A to C works.  But if moving foo from B to A ... it goes to A, but then C's foo goes to B.

It's magic.  Or something.

Moving the file in the Terminal, or on the local host (instead of via AFP), works fine. G+
