I can reproduce it now, but it has nothing to do with links/junctions.

The problem is that the shown file is outside of the project folder
hierarchy. Visual D tries to recreate the projects folder structure, so
it copies

D:\Projects\Game\Game\Game\..\..\..\..\D\Libraries\pegged\dynamic\grammar.d

to

D:\Projects\Game\Game\Game.dustmite\..\..\..\..\D\Libraries\pegged\dynamic\grammar.d

which is the same file!

A simple workaround is to use a junction in the project folder to access
pegged.

I guess Visual D should not copy files outside of the project folder,
but they are also not subject to dustmite in that case.

Alternatively, the dustmite directory could be created in a common
parent folder for all files, but that doesn't work for files distributed
over different drives.
