linelint does not know how to handle symbolic links

[sjknox13]

When line lint is running, it fails over a symbolic link because it cannot open the file:
[EOF Rule] Ignoring file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/env_info/cibc_dev.md": in rule ignore path
[EOF Rule] Ignoring file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/env_info/cibc_prod.md": in rule ignore path
[EOF Rule] Ignoring file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/env_info/cibc_sit.md": in rule ignore path
[EOF Rule] Ignoring file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/env_info/cibc_uat.md": in rule ignore path
[EOF Rule] Ignoring file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/index.md": in rule ignore path
Error opening file "vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/user_guide": open vor/playpens/cibc/src/docs/user_guide: no such file or directory
Total of 1 file errors!

We also tried running it with ignore specified in .linelint.yml on the parent folder which resulted in the same error even if it ignored everything in the folder.
