Comments.Text: Not that I have an answer for you, I'm just as curious as you are - but it would be helpful to know what version Civi you're running and what CMS.

  CiviCRM can have issues resolving symlinks if they exist in the path to CiviCRM codebase or resources (mentioned also [here](https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/a/21926/149)). Either avoid symlinks in your filesystem layout, or supply CiviCRM with the "real" path for the directory.
