Junctions are a murky corner of NTFS, I think they may only be properly
dealt with using low -level IO calls.
So the "ls" command doesn't process correctly. If a junction is made to
another volume, "ls" will fail
altogether (even for the current directory). if you change them to
directory symlinks you should get better behavior.
When Linux looks at the NTFS files it can follow junctions better than
symlinks, but "ls" has the same trouble:
