I have this working when you stat the symlink from the directory it was created or above...but oddly it does not work when you open a symlink below the directory it exists in.

DeviceIoControl isn't used for reparse tag handling anymore, and I'm using GetFinalPathNameByHandle similar to how it was used in previous versions of this code. There's still a case to handle and maybe some cleanup, but there's decent progress and hope that I can get it done very soon.
