This is funkyness w/ the sorcery scripts. The spell is likely fine. IIRC
I added an option for wget so that it would dereference those links
(goes and double checks that it's there) although the man page is a
little confusing on this switch. If anyone is able to translate, feel
free:
--retr-symlinks
   Usually, when retrieving FTP directories recursively and a symbolic
   link is encountered, the linked-to file is not downloaded.
   Instead, a matching symbolic link is created on the local filesys-
   tem.  The pointed-to file will not be downloaded unless this recur-
   sive retrieval would have encountered it separately and downloaded
   it anyway.
   When --retr-symlinks is specified, however, symbolic links are tra-
   versed and the pointed-to files are retrieved.  At this time, this
   option does not cause Wget to traverse symlinks to directories and
   recurse through them, but in the future it should be enhanced to do
   this.
   Note that when retrieving a file (not a directory) because it was
   specified on the commandline, rather than because it was recursed
   to, this option has no effect.  Symbolic links are always traversed
   in this case.
