Hi Andre,

https://github.com/xfce-mirror/thunar/blob/master/thunar/thunar-transfer-job.c#L830.
This is because `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_READONLY` is set to `TRUE` for
`/mount1/name`. But I think that Thunar should check
`G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_WRITE` instead in this case, which is by the way
set to `TRUE`. Because the filesystem attributes are obtained for the symlink
file itself, not for its target. This behavior was probably changed by commit
0f5017fb
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/commit/0f5017fb701b221846f04fa610c8429bbaa49136)
recently. But I think it is right as it is now and that Thunar needs to be
fixed.
