Add a disk list entry for the absolute path at C, D and E
Hopefully tar will NEVER traverse the symblinks, else you are sure you
will never be able to run amanda, for I am pretty certain that there
must be some symblink loops somewhere on your system.
Plus a symblink is only just a file, that has a special contents, and
there is no reason the directory pointed to should be backed-up
instead of the symblink. Else you would not be able to restore it as
it is, symblink would be restored as a directory...
