Without this, a path like "/libraries" (that probably doesn't exist on
most Linux installs), will get converted into "/", and cause 'find' to
scan the entire filesystem. This is somewhat unfortunate when there is
a large, slow filesystem mounted, such as a NAS.
This isn't really a complete fix, since symlinks will still be treated
somewhat surprisingly, but it's definitely nice to not scan an extra
15T of storage.
