I not only retract that, I am prepared to swear under oath that I never said

I like Bizarro, but every once in a while I find one totally incomprehensible.
Maybe this is a similar case...

I assumed that what appeared in the other accounts would be zero-size
reflections of the REAL shortcut icons located in . There's
something about the bittorrent process that allocates the necessary total space
while not actually occupying any more of it than has been downloaded -- du and
ls -al will show different numbers -- and that this might be similar but
different. Apparently not.
