 Err, I have this all wrong.  I don't know where I came up with
 directories entry counts.  The UDF file system under counts the number
 of links to directories by one.  It does not count for '.', which
 doesn't actually exist in the file system but presented in the by
 system.  A directory in the udf filesystem with one subdirectory and
 no other links to the directory would have a link count of 2.  This
 arrangement under udf would have a link count of 3.
