Title:
  Empathy does not write chat-log-files when TpLogger under
  ~/.local/share is a symbolic link

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  New
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since i want my Conversations synchronized, i have setup dropbox with some folder ~/Dropbox/IM/TpLogger and created a symbolic link under .local/share/TpLogger that points to ~/Dropbox/IM/TpLogger.
  This worked in the past, but stopped working at some point in the past.

  when i have empathy running and delete this link (by moving it to
  TpLogger.old for instance) a new TpLogger Folder is created and my
  logs are stored.

  when run empathy with the TpLogger being a link and send/receive a message i get the attached log, where the interesting part is at 167:
  (telepathy-logger:11067): tp-logger-CRITICAL **: _tpl_log_manager_add_event: logstore name=TpLogger: Couldn't open log file: /home/cnlpete/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/gabble_jabber_cnlpete_40mitharas_2ede0/chatrooms/care@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/20111111.log. Event may not be logged properly.

  however, running touch, less or nano on exactly this file, i can
  access and edit.


  I did antother test, where i put a Folder TestDir under .local/share (cd ~/.local/share && mkdir testdir) and have a symbolic link with this target (ln -s testdir TpLogger).
  Then trying to send a message results in the following debug-block:
  (telepathy-logger:11551): tp-logger-DEBUG: tpl_entity_new: Self id: care@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cnlpete, tok: (null)
  (telepathy-logger:11551): tp-logger-DEBUG: tpl_text_channel_store_message: Logging message sent to care@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (care@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

  (telepathy-logger:11551): tp-logger-DEBUG: _tpl_log_store_sqlite_remove_pending_messages:  - pending_id: 12

  but the folder does not get created!
  sending another message results in exactly the same debug-output, where empthy (or tplogger) tries to create the folder but does not get created...
