I ran into the same issue. Thanks a lot Steven for the patch, saved me a lot of time! Will this be included in one of the next releases?

> FileUtils.isSymlink(File) will throw an IllegalArgumentException if the symbolic link does not exist. FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File) ignores any exceptions that are from the symbolic link. I added another catch to ignore IllegalArgumentException.
