vimdir cannot delete symlinks

[kissen]

Deleting symlinks fails.

ats@chonk /tmp/demo $ ls
ats@chonk /tmp/demo $ touch a.txt 
ats@chonk /tmp/demo $ ln -s a.txt a.txt.link
ats@chonk /tmp/demo $ vimdir   # here we delete both a.txt and a.txt.link from the rule file
vimdir: error: No such file or directory (os error 2)
ats@chonk [1] /tmp/demo $ ls
a.txt.link

This appears to only happen on network drives. Deleting symlinks works fine on Linux ext4 and tmpfs.
