Not programming... not really computers...

Does anyone know why I cannot create a hard link to a directory with 'ln' on my linux box? The man page reads:

-d, -F, --directory
hard link directories (super-user only)

So su'ed to root, I shouldn't be getting this:

$ ln -d mail myMail
ln: creating hard link `myMail' to `mail': Operation not permitted
