Good point.  I would venture to guess that SMB/CIFS may not have a link
command - afaik, the OSes that originally/natively use(d) it do not
support links of any kind.  It may be worthwhile to suggest such a
feature, since CIFS has for quite some time proliferated itself as a
cross-platform network filesystem.
