Unable to open symlinks on FTP connection with Eclipse RSE. Getting 550 I can only retrieve regular files

I want to connect to my FTP account using Eclipse RSE. I created a new connection. Everything fine. But in my FTP Folder there are symlinks pointing to different folders on the servers. When i try to open the symlinks RSE tells me

550 I can only retrieve regular files

With a normal FTP Browser like FileZilla i can open an browse those symlinks! Are symlinks not supported by RSE?

I use

Version: Helios Service Release 2

Build id: 20110218-0911

Any Ideas?
