It can, easily. The problem is that alias does *not* have any special meaning in the filesystem -- it is handled at application level only.

Anyone have a hack to
fix this problem at this time?

As I've said, no hack needed -- unless you consider the plain Carbon API a hack, which I would approve, but the vast majority quite probably would not ;).

As for detailed howto, either see the docs, or archives -- twice or thrice already someone posted the code to resolve an alias, but since I don't like the stuff, I haven't stored those messages myself.
