<pre wrap="">Norbert’s suggestion of -rL is sensible, and I think that -aL would
work as well because the trailing L (tranform symlink into referent
file/dir) would override the earlier implied l (copy symlinks as
symlinks). In fact, that’s what I do when I need to dereference
symlinks, I add it at the end of my usual command-line arguments; to be
precise, that’s -av --progress [-L].

Right, I am trying that now. Sadly I forgot to add --progress, so I
have no idea what it is doing, or how fast (or how slowly) it is
doing it, but files are definitely appearing in

My thanks to you both.<br>
