Symbolic link errors on subsequent applys

I am using the symbolic link resource and it applies successfully the first time and creates the link correctly. But on subsequent runs, it fails.

I think its something to do with the test function as it seems to think that the link doesn't exist and tries to re-create it when it already exists.

My DSC config is

    $documents = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments")    
    cSymbolicLink powershellProfileLink {
      Ensure          = "Present"
      SourcePath      = "C:\code\powershell-profile\"
      DestinationPath = "$documents\WindowsPowerShell\"
      DependsOn       = "[cGitRepository]powershellProfile"
    }

the error message is.
