This is documented in the file_search help. To avoid infinite loops,
file_search will not search within symlinks to directories.

You can recreate the tree, and populate the tree with symlinks to the
files. Just make sure that all directories are real. Another
alternative is to just don't do Windows, and use the unix find tool
through spawn to find your stuff.

Best,
