tahoe backup doesn't cope with symlinks

Description

When running backup on a directory (which is in coda, which probably doesn't matter), I get

WARNING: cannot backup symlink '/blah/blah'

I consider symlinks important. I realize tahoe doesn't have them (maybe it should) but this points out that tahoe backup is not a satisfactory general solution. (I would argue that the backup program and the filesystem used to store the files comprising the backup database should be independent anyway.)
