More about these "magic dirs", can be found here under junctions https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365006(v=vs.85).aspx and here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365503(v=vs.85).aspx
It seems file::find sees them as a normal direcory, and doesnt have the permissions to "reparse" them.
