I've also found a solution to tftpd not traversing symlinks: bind mounts :)
The only downside is they require a little bit more care when cleaning up,
since an rm -rf will follow it and delete stuff you don't want it to.
You could just use hardlinks (os.link), an unlink will only remove the
file if it's the last one.
