Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com> added the comment: I've confirmed that in fact a security policy permission is required to create a symbolic link, and that by default, that permission is only granted to administrators (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Windows_Vista_symbolic_link). Given this finding, I hope the buildbot can run the symlink tests as administrator.
