Bug Description

STR:

1. remove Ubuntu One-related folders
2. create '$HOME/Ubuntu One' symlink to any folder outside of $HOME
3. start ubuntuone-preferences

Actual Results:
Syncdaemon starts to work with "symlinked" Ubuntu One folder w/o giving any warning.

Expected Results:
It should warn the user about the symlink and stop working.

This is the behavior that made bug 543713 possible.

Observed on ubuntuone-client 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
