Rainer--
I did a quick test of the script.
1) suggestion: Amendment to help:
-A <arDir> [add: "Alternative to -l."] Create selfcontained...
["root and arDir have to be on the *same* filesystem!" -- I don't understand what you mean]
2) In regular mode, moving the linktree folder still destroys the symlinks; why not just make them hardlinks in regular mode?
3)

By the way, I still don't understand why you're using hard links rather than symlinks in Archive Mode? It defeats the purpose of my original suggestion for an -A option, which was to send tarballs to friends via email. (One might as well just ignore the Photo directory and make the linktree out of hardlinks, but that creates a problem where the archive size can potentially be up to T times larger than necessary, where T = the number of tags, perhaps 100.) I'm just abit confused why you implemented an Archive option if not for sending tarballs... If there's a problem with symlinks...
> The problems I described were problems that arise when creating the photo linktree structure
... then I'm still confused as to what it is, if you'd be so kind as to elucidate.
