Android app cannot read symlink to folder on physical sdcard

I copied the Camera folder to the physical card, and linked it back to /home/nemo/Pictures/Camera so all my pictures are saved on the physical SD card. It works very good, but now I have problems with Android apps.

(Tested with QuickPic)

The Android App has access to the folder e.g. /home/nemo/Pictures/test-folder and a symlink of this folder e.g. /home/Pictures/test-folder-link. But if the folder is on the physical SD card, e.g. /media/sdcard/9c9fb721-4749-42c1-85ca-e15d5b56866d/data/test-folder-on-card, and there is a symlink to it e.g, home/nemo/Pictures/test-folder-on-card-link, the app cannot access it.

Any clue?

Thanks a lot!

I will try to create multiple mounts as I don't want AlienDalvik to access the entire SD card but just some folders.
