ubuntu-one syncdeamon crashes if "Shared with Me" exists as invalid symlink

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

hi,
after renaming the user (and with that, the home-directory), i noticed a short repeatly CPU-utilization up to 100% every 5 seconds for around one second. After some research i found out that it is the ubuntu-one-sync-deamon which is all the time starting over, so i started it myself in a terminal to see what happens:

gerrit@azubi-desktop:~$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon", line 184, in <module>
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon", line 134, in main
    ignore_files=options.ignore)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/main.py", line 108, in __init__
    self.vm = volume_manager.VolumeManager(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/volume_manager.py", line 312, in __init__
    os.symlink(self.m.shares_dir, self.m.shares_dir_link)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

And then, after a while of debugging, i've found out that the volume_manager.py tries to create a symlink to "~/UbuntuOne/Shared with Me/", but there was already a file, an Symlink that has become invalid as renaming the home-directory.

So the file-exists-check that i see at around /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/volume_manager.py in line 312 fails if the symlink already exists as an invalid symlink.
