rsync readlink failed invalid argument?

[Kendall Shaw]

Thanks. I cleaned MailtoMutt and then got messages about work folders in 
several other ports. So, I cleaned all of them except aqua/NmapFE would 
fail to be cleaned. If I ls -lA the directory, ls prints "invalid 
argument", and shows it without an indication of where the link is 
linked to. Also cd work would print "invalid argumet". So I deleted it 
and selfupdate works now.
