Windows XP RubyFile.link issue

Hi all,

I am a bit new to the ruby world but I have an issue where I am trying
to run a db:load rake task and i get this error(full trace below)

– create_table(“addresses”, {:force=>true})
rake aborted!
link() function is unimplemented on this machine

I am not sure why it is trying to call the link function, but it does. I
did find that this issue has been fixed for some other functions notably
(chown, lchown, and lchmod) That bug can be found here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2274

Was there a reason that link and syslink where not taken care of? And is
there a work around for this? I have tried both 1.2.0 and 1.3.1 and get
the same error.
