rsync from $job is incredibly slow and unreliable and frequently errored 
out partway through the process.  I switched to lftp some time ago but 
just realized that it wasn't handling symlinks properly (although all 
indications are that it should be).   A possible complication may be 
that I just moved my local mirror from a old Solaris 10 system to a new 
FreeNAS (FreeBSD) system, and am using the lftp from freeBSD 9.3 
'ports', whihc is lftp version 4.6.1.  The old solaris system had LFTP 
4.0.10
