Comment (by luckman212):

 Thanks for looking into this but I think there's an issue still. It may
 work to symlink the entire "duck" folder however that is not what I am
 doing (I only want to sync Bookmarks - also it is probably not wise or
 even viable to sync the whole folder because the mountpoints are also
 stored there. Not sure what horrible things might happen if it's being
 used on 2 machines and both have the same bookmark mounted...)  So I am
 only symlinking my "Bookmarks" folder.  Here's a repro.  I just tested
 this with MountainDuck 2.0.3(snap)

 1. quit MountainDuck

 2. open Terminal and run these commands

 {{{
 cd "$HOME/Library/Group Containers/G69SCX94XU.duck/Library/Application
 Support/duck"
 mv Bookmarks "$HOME/duck-bookmarks-test"
 ln -siv "$HOME/duck-bookmarks-test" Bookmarks
 }}}

 3. relaunch MountainDuck

 no bookarks will be shown...
