return value of mkshortcut on Windows 7

mkshortcut is returning 8 when I expect it to return 0. This only happens to me on Windows 7. It returns 0 on XP. Here's what I do. $ rm -rf a $ mkdir a $ mkshortcut -n a/b a $ echo $? 8 $ file a/b.lnk a/b.lnk: MS Windows shortcut I'd love a hand getting mkshortcut to return 0 in this case.
