Using rdist w/ hardlinks

Dear Managers,

We are trying to distribute a dir hierarchy to a number of hosts on
our network via rdist. I seem to run into a problem rdisting hardlinks.
Specifically, on the source host I have these files:

        /usr/dist/a/origfile
        /usr/dist/b/hardlink-to-origfile

In Distfile, I am using this:

        ( /usr/dist/a /usr/dist/b ) -> host
         install -R ( /usr/dist );

I get this error message when executing rdist:

rdist: host: can't link /usr/dist/a/hardlink-to-origfile to
/usr/dist/b//usr/dist/b/origfile

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks.
