I have one symlink in a directory and want to sync that (the directory with the symlink) with a second drive. That works perfect as long as I don't state any include-filter-rule other than "*". Even "*.*" makes it impossible for FreeFileSync to follow the symlink.

I use FFS 5.21 on Vista x64 SP2. The drives are local and NTFS-formatted.
The symlink was created with "mklink /d ..."

Hope you can help me.

There's been a problem related to directory symlink filtering which is fixed for 5.22:
