When running the httk-tasks-receive-from-computer the counting of the files that is done during the step "Fetching information about tasks to pull" does not search trough symbolic links unless specified to look at a specific directory which is a symbolic link.

solution to this problem is to add the flag -L in the code for httk-tasks-receive-from-computer function call under the "Fetching information about tasks to pull" section.

With that change all the jobs under the ht.project directory is counted unless a specific directory is given as the second argument to the function call.
