What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1. set up a symlink pointing to a path outside user home directory as described 
in issue 55 , e.g. a symlink called "foo" pointng to /tmp/foo 
2. try to obtain access to that link (e.g. "CWD foo")

pyftpdlib will reply with:
550 "/" points to a path which is outside the user's root directory.

expected response should be:
550 "foo" points to a path which is outside the user's root directory.
