PDIR woes

alias dirl=pdir /a:j /(fpn" ==^> "@junction
[*])

dirl ..App* .KLS.pete*
C:\..Apps ==> Volume{14a1b9f1-89e6-11de-9861-001e8cc44bce}\
C:\.KLS.peter ==>

alias dirl=pdir /a:j /(fpn" ==^> "@symlink
[*])

dirl ..App* .KLS.pete*
C:\..Apps ==>
C:\.KLS.peter ==> \\kls\peter

So I tried

alias dirl-js=pdir /a:j /(fpn" ==^> "@junction
[*]@symlink
[*])

dirl-js ..App* .KLS.pete*
C:\..Apps ==> Volume{14a1b9f1-89e6-11de-9861-001e8cc44bce}\@symlink
[*]
C:\.KLS.peter ==> @symlink
[*]alias dirl-sj=pdir /a:j /(fpn" ==^> "@symlink
[*]@junction
[*])
dirl-sj ..App* .KLS.pete*
C:\..Apps ==> @junction
[*]
C:\.KLS.peter ==> \\kls\peter@junction
[*]

Why don't these work? And why does the following (note the space before @junction[] which is also actually there in the output (but swallowed by the posting mechanism) ... ugly!)?

alias dirl-sj=pdir /a:j /(fpn" ==^> "@symlink
[*] @junction
[*])
dirl-sj ..App* .KLS.pete*
C:\..Apps ==> Volume{14a1b9f1-89e6-11de-9861-001e8cc44bce}\
C:\.KLS.peter ==> \\kls\peter


And not entirely related, but I discovered it while I was messing around with the above:

dir c:\]Desk*
Volume in drive C is System Serial number is e2af:ec3b
Directory of C:\]Desk*

2009-08-15 21:51 <symlinkd> ]Desktop [C:\Users\peter\Desktop]</symlinkd>
0 bytes in 0 files and 1 dir
846,883,254,272 bytes free<symlinkd>

(Yes, I have a symlink called C:\]Desktop". Perverse perhaps, but completely legal).

echo %@symlink[c:\]Desktop]
Desktop]

Is there a way around this? It would not work in the pdir context anyway, but I tried replacing the ] with ? but @junction/@symlink don't take wildcards.

(TCC 10.00.76 Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7600])</symlinkd>
